Top 5 Most Popular Stories 2021
There’s a shift happening. You and I, we are experiencing a shake-up across the globe. I’m in Cyprus, unable to visit my homeland for two years now. Where are you? What has been your experience in 2021? Have you experienced pain or loss, have you experienced great growth or hardship?
There is not one of us who hasn’t been touched by what’s happening across our planet. Some have lost family, livelihood, and endured lockdowns. Others have grown their businesses or migrated to new countries. We are all going through this together. At the same time, a global narrative of uncertainty and fear has caused people to argue, divide and disconnect with each other.
It doesn’t have to be that way. When we take the time to listen to another’s viewpoint in context of their life story – then it helps us show empathy and understanding. In times of great change, it’s important we share our stories and listen to the stories of others with an open heart. Because sharing our stories will play a vital role in maintaining love, peace, and harmony.
In this issue we share the TOP 5 most read stories this year. Thank you for engaging with the writers and being part of our Daily Inspired Life community. And a special thank you to you who have shared your story in 2021.
I wish you all a beautiful story for 2022 and years to come.
