Why 2020 Was ACTUALLY the Best Year Ever

When the subject of 2020 comes up (which is almost always), it is not uncommon to hear the following descriptors:

“I can’t wait for this year to be over.”
“Let’s cancel this year.”
“Let’s move on to 2021.”
“COVID sucks.”

I want to propose something vastly different: 2020 has been an amazing year. And it has been the best year the collective has ever experienced.

Stay with me here.

I am by no means belittling the fact that many have lost a friend or family member due to COVID or other cause, lost a job, saw their business decline, or experienced any other life-altering events. There is no doubt that we have faced incredible challenges this year and still continue to. I would just like to offer perspectives on 2020 that might help to reframe it in a positive way so that you leave the year with some light.

I will begin with my own experience of 2020, which has been the best year of my life. Why? Because I used it to consciously co-create a change in my state of being. As I have talked about before, our reality is created by our state of being - the thoughts running through our heads, what we say, the actions we take, and the feelings and emotions we experience. It was not that I didn’t face any challenges. I definitely did. However, I still focused on my state of being despite those challenges. Because of this, I was able to: 

  • Bring my body into health and balance
  • Overcome a chronic pain and health issue I had dealt with for years
  • Manifest an amazing conscious relationship
  • Travel to many amazing destinations, including London, Washington, California, and Colorado
  • Grow my business significantly

Any idea that these things would not have been possible during COVID is just a limiting belief. Our lives are a reflection of who we are BEING, not what is happening to us. Whether there is a recession, a pandemic, war, famine, or some political upheaval, we can choose to become greater than our body, emotions, and environment regardless of what is going on around us. As lightworkers and conscious creators, we ultimately need to be the heroic optimist, that guiding light, that leader for others. 

Now, let’s discuss why 2020 has been the best year the collective has ever seen. I know that is a big statement to make and a lot to take in. However, I hope you might start to see where I am coming from after considering the following perspectives. 

A Great Awakening Has Occurred 

The main reason 2020 has been the best year ever for the collective is due to the accelerated awakening it has experienced. In my opinion, this awakening is the reason COVID occurred; why it all happened. People have been forced to turn inward and actually take a look at themselves and their lives. They have been removed from the rat race and required to slow down. Their actions have changed from mindless to mindful. “Because that’s the way I’ve always done it” no longer applies, and reevaluating most everything has become a common practice. Notice how more people have started talking about consciousness, metaphysics, and frequency since COVID began. That’s no accident. Neither is the fall of old structures that we are witnessing. It may feel chaotic and disorienting, but that is because those old structures, both societal and within ourselves, are in direct conflict with the new higher vibrational energy that has emerged as a result of this awakening. Friction is natural when the old is cleared away and the new takes its place.

Practice Leads to Mastery

Those who have been spiritual students seeking self-healing and oneness with humanity for some time have been given the opportunity to put what they have learned to the test. It is one thing to understand such concepts as: 

I am greater than my body, my emotions, and my environment. Regardless of what is happening around me, my inner environment is greater than my outer environment.

And a whole other thing to actually live them and put them into action in our daily lives. 2020 has offered us an extreme opportunity in which to do so. Studying and talking about these ideas has turned into deep inquiry such as, “Am I actually this person?” and “Can I really do what I say I am about?” It is intense work, but it allows us to expand by actually living out the beliefs we have held for so long. 

Divine Qualities & Gifts Now Have a Place to Shine

Because people have been required to go inward, they have become more in touch with their divine qualities and gifts. Those who would have otherwise been on a trajectory of working in a dead-end job for another five years or staying stuck in a relationship that was stagnant have been required to reevaluate their choices and how they align with who they truly are. While it is uncomfortable, it is also a huge gift. I have seen a huge creative outpour as a result - many people starting new businesses, writing music or creating video series for the first time, and many other creative endeavors that they would not have undertaken otherwise. 

Endings Have Turned Into Better Beginnings

Many endings have occurred, but they have turned into better beginnings. A lost job has turned into the opportunity to start a business that was only a dream previously. The ending of a relationship has allowed for a better relationship with oneself. The old has fallen away to create a space for new energy to flow. Manifestations that reflect who people truly are now have the opportunity to become reality. 2020 has allowed for the breaking up of energy so that new and better versions of ourselves and the world can come forth, which is a huge blessing. 

Connection Has Become a Value Again

Lockdown and quarantine have given so many people the chance to pour themselves into their relationships with family members. Some have built family bonds again that had long since been broken. Others experienced true connection, maybe for the first time, because it was no longer about just them, their work, and their screens. A lot of closeness and intimacy that had been lost was gained back. While social distancing has prevented us from engaging with our communities as we previously had, our close nuclear families have really been rebuilt this year.

I hope this has been the best year of your life, but if you can’t bring yourself to say that, I am going to release another video very soon about how to make 2021 the best. Remember that what you focus on expands. Your life is a perfect reflection of who you are being, not what is happening to you. By focusing on your state of being and looking at challenges in a new light, you can make every year the best one yet.
