What is the purpose of a reset button? Generally, it has three main functions: in electronic devices it is used to reset a device; on video games it restarts the game and on computers it clears the memory and reboots the machine. Although these words are electronic jargon, most of us have an understanding that they indicate some sort of ability to ‘start afresh.’

I have come to appreciate that even in our own lives, we have the power to press the reset button. In humans, it requires a shift in perspective, in how we see ourselves and the world around us. 

We are now in December and I think most of us can agree that 2020 will be an unforgettable year, for various reasons! Despite all the challenges and uncertainty we have faced, we have made it thus far and that calls for a celebration.

We are on the verge of entering 2021 and I think even before the new year hits, now would be a good time to Rest and Refocus our attention.

As long as you are still breathing, you have the power to make a positive change, big or small in your life. Life is always filled with new possibilities and new beginnings. Even as you go through life’s ups and downs, remember – you as a human are “equipped” with a reset button – you are the only one with the power to use it though!

May you find renewed hope as you prepare to face 2021.

We at Up Time Consulting would like to wish you and your loved ones a much deserved peaceful December break and a fantastic New Year.
