“But this is only for those that I’m inspirin'”
– Eminem on “No Regrets

Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe it’s 2020? The new year is a great time to hit the reset button, reevaluate goals, and figure out what you want to accomplish this year. While those are all good actions to take, what about the “how” part? Specifically, how do you stay focused to get everything done? Anddd, how do you maintain it? Well, let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about 2020 vision.

2019, what a year you’ve been. It feels like just a blur, but there’s been a TON of things that have shaped this year. From Canada winning its first NBA championship, to droves of people marching for climate change, to the Avengers becoming the highest grossing film of all time, it’s been super eventful. We saw a black hole get photographed, a U.S. president get impeached for only the third time in history, and sadly, continued violence throughout the country and world. It’s been a very busy year for real.

As I’ve done in years past, I want to take some time out and reflect on the year I’ve had too. There have been many great things I’ve experienced throughout the year, while other stuff I wouldn’t mind forgetting lol. But all in all, it’s important to appreciate how far we’ve traveled together. And BELIEVE ME, it’s been a long journey! Anddd with that said, let’s do it.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy my 2019 year in review!

“Dig deep in your mind, no pressure, no diamonds”
– Fat Joe on “Lord Above

They say that in order to behave differently, you have to think differently. Whether that’s looking at things from a different perspective, or approaching things in a brand new way, these types of moves can help you progress more effectively. And whether it’s moving more efficiently, or cutting out the clutter, there’s lots of things we can do to become better versions of ourselves. Basically what I’m trying to say is…maybe we can benefit from a mindset change.

Before we get ahead of ourselves though, WHAT’S UP people? What’s going on? Welcome to the December 2019 Opinions Column. For those that are new to the site, this is where I talk about what’s going on with me and what’s on my mind. For those that are returning, welcome back! With December upon us (wow, where’d the year go?), I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about how we can shift our mindsets to become better…especially ahead of the new year AND decade (whoa).

“Thank God for grantin me this moment of clarity”
– Jay-Z on “Moment of Clarity

Have you ever driven at night when it’s foggy? Like, really foggy? It’s not easy to drive in those kinds of conditions. You gotta slow down, look out for others, and proceed with caution. Basically, when your vision gets clouded, it makes it more difficult to get to your destination. I think about a person’s health in the same way. And for that reason, it’s really important to have a clear mind.

What’s up y’all? Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com November 2019 extremely late version of the Opinions Column. For those that are new to the site, welcome! This is the place where I talk about whatever’s going on in my mind. And or those that are returning, welcome back! Now then, let’s talk about the importance of having a clear mind.

“Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought”
– Guru on Gang Starr’s “Family & Loyalty

It’s often easy to get down about things, especially when life isn’t going your way. Whether it’s your career, relationships, or whatever else, sometimes we experience “slumps” and need to pick ourselves up outta them. So just how do we do it? Perhaps we take on an activity we enjoy, spend time with friends, or read a book. Or, perhaps there’s another way…maybe it’s by rethinking our attitude. Welcome to the bright side.

Before we jump ahead though, welcome! Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com 2019 Opinions Column. For those new to the site, this is where I talk about whatever’s going on within my mind. So, welcome! And for those returning, welcome back! Nowww, to the bright side.
