Making a change in this busy world

It‘s never been my thing to write. I‘ve always felt intimidated by all the experts in the field. But life is about changing.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world – Mahatma Gandhi

Our lives are filled with work. We often refrain from reflecting on what we are doing. Essentially it‘s often not hard to change. All it takes is a shift in your mindset. A slight change of the angle you‘re viewing things.

For me the change came with reflection. I‘m a 21 year old uni student in Germany. The daily routine was taking a toll on my work, as the Coronavirus was keeping me from physically interacting with my colleagues. The semester ended with online exams. No dinner date with uni students and cheerful chats. And so I entered my practical phase of four months. I wanted to change, change for the better. But life caught up and the great idea vanished away.
