Eight Reasons to be Wary of Yourself in 2020

2019 was certainly a rock 'n' roll year for many reasons but despite the volatility a number of the worlds stock markets finished on double digits.  Will 2020 produce similar results? This got me thinking that this period of our history seems to be particularly challenging in many ways and reminded me of the time I went to the USA for a road trip up the West Coast. During this trip I took a detour to an old mining town known as Bodie ghost town (see photo above). Apart from the fact that this is a national monument in the US and a great window into the past, one thing really struck me here. Walking around I came across the old church and peered through the window. Above the pulpit was a large wooden banner with the following inscription craved into it:  "Nothing endures but change":  Heraclitus It seems kind of fitting that a ghost (abandoned) town would have a reminder of the fact that our lives are perpetually moving and we are constantly at the mercy of change, be it climatic change, political change, job change or even changes in the family.  However, this change represents not only dangers, but also great opportunities.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020

This is the start of a new decade and it will surely bring fresh challenges for all of us, but there is much to look forward to as well.
