Why This Pandemic Is Our Greatest Opportunity for Change
It’s a costly silver lining. Let’s make the most of it.
There’s so much to say and digest about the pandemic our world is facing, it’s almost too daunting to put into words.
Livelihoods are being lost, human lives are being lost, and nothing will ever be the same again. It’s a scary, uncertain time, and I firmly believe most of us are doing the best we can in a situation we’ve never experienced before.
That being said, this is also our biggest opportunity for change and growth, and we’d be foolish to waste it.
Our One Shot
Everything in our lives has turned upside down and right side out.
Our busyness, our relationships, our commitments…all those things we have put our energies into have been tumbled out on the ground before us. Everything is on pause.
This goes for those things we value, such as our work and many of our relationships. And this also goes for those things we have held onto out of fear or obligation, including unnecessary commitments and draining relationships.
In my own life, I can see this most clearly in hindsight.
