Is Hindsight Really 2020?

Welcome to another Thursday UNFILTERED blog post, the only blog that gives you a 2-hour consultation with Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer to solve all your legal troubles.

So we’ve made it through the first half of 2020 (applause).

On January 2, 2020, I wrote the article A Reset for 2020.

None of us anticipated that 2020 would bring a global pandemic, a national lockdown, an economic crisis, riots in the streets, and civil unrest.

Not to mention the cancellation of cool events we had planned. (Or events like little Sally Ann’s friend’s birthday party that you never wanted to attend in the first place, but were given a legitimate “out.” Thank you COVID lockdown!)

All of this gives new meaning to the phrase, “Hindsight is 2020.”

But as I wrote in my Survival Guide for the Current Virus Crisis, the current state of chaos, uncertainty, and hardship has created new opportunities. That is, if you have an eye to discover them.

So in that regard, 2020 has been a reset on steroids.

Every Thursday in 2020, I’ve written a fresh article for you (you can see the full list at the bottom).

Every Tuesday, we’ve published a new episode on The Insurgence Podcast. If you’re new to it or you’re a drive-by tourist, I encourage you to listen to Episode 75 – it contains important news.

(And for those of you who are on The Deeper Christian Life Network, you’ve also been getting exclusive content from me every Monday.)
