In Episode 9, The Skywalker saga comes to an end with Star: Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

While there has been a lot of criticism on how the trilogy concluded, I enjoyed it. Was it perfect? No. And did it suffer because of Episode 8? I’d say so. Even with some of those issues, it manages to be a fun ride with action, humor, and a great soundtrack. I enjoyed how this film reunites the core team, while drawing parallels to the original trilogy.

So what did you think? Did you have a good time with this movie? Or did you see some things you would have liked to change?

“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.

“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.

“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.
