FROM OUR CEO and EDITOR-in-CHIEF Jasmina Siderovski

WELCOME TO OUR 10 TH MILESTONE EDITION OF eYs MAGAZINE 2020.

We blinked since our last winter edition, and here we are! September 2020!!

Nothing much has changed; the global pandemic is live, and well, and vaccines still in the grassroots’ stage, although there is some claim that we may have access sooner rather than later. Life may never be where we were this time last year, and masks and sanitiser, social distancing and restrictions are definitely here to stay. I feel that our world is suffering in silence as fear and anxiety have become the norm for many of us. There is not a day we don’t hear the word COVID-19 and looking around I have noticed the pressures looming on people’s faces, and the signs of aging, as we are kept in the dark of any aspirations for a world we once knew.

Conspiracy theories are even more alive than ever, fuelled by uncertainty and a lack of explanations or support for hope by our world leaders. Quietly, we take a back seat as we watch the destruction of our world giants and the economy reach an all-time low. 2020–has created turmoil and distributed chaos beyond explanation. It has rocked the core for love and morals; it has bankrupt dreams and values, and it has socially distanced humanity into never-never-land.

My heart belongs to the people of Beirut. The recent explosion will be a reminder beyond COVID-19. It will take many, many years and manpower, financial support, funding and economic growth for the country to get back on its feet. The world stands in silence. Nothing is said, and no one is questioned. It’s as if we have been conditioned to a new era of observation. Every minute is now a blessing and a lesson. Corruption is prominent from the top down and survival. Greed and power, a thirst for the adrenalin power-holics who yearn to be the best and live without limits.

How did we all get here? Where did we go wrong? What could have we done to prevent this, and why are we fearing change? These questions loom in my head and I wonder, is it too late? Then I hear a voice…

“Never Give Up!”

It’s time we stand up, get dressed, and turn up. It’s time for change and solidarity. It is now or never, an opportunity to rebuild and redefine the life we once knew. It’s time to up-skill, educate, support and find the strength to live, laugh and love. Believe in growth, innovation, and hope. Be part of the change for a better world. It’s about opportunity, a new mindset and kindness. It’s about social awareness, networking, building and healing, it’s time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and use this period to build trust, a human wealth of empowerment and provide an opportunity to all.

On a positive note I am grateful to have received the Greatness University, World Greatness Award 2020, held at the Luton Hoo Hotel, UK. It was an amazing ceremony and I extend a special sentiment of gratitude to Professor Patrick Businge, Founder of Greatness University and The World Book of Greatness. Congratulations to all the Honourees who were inducted to the World Greatness 2020 Wall of Fame.

I am delighted to be a guest speaker for the Global Youth Mental Health Awareness – Stress Management Revolution Summit – Australia’s First ever anticipated event.
