We find ourselves in a metamorphosis of sorts. Every crisis provides the culture for one. A lot of us are feeling isolated, cut off from our loved ones, and terribly uncomfortable with the uncertainty of what is to come.
A darkness of fear and anxiety closes in on us periodically or incessantly. We might be mourning the loss of a job or worse, someone we love. Life as we knew it before this pandemic is over.
We ask the leaders, how long is this going to last? How is the economy going to recover? When will there be a cure? What is the real mortality rate? Why weren’t we better prepared? Why don’t we have more testing available?
And their answer continues to be “We don’t know”. The unknown can be absolutely terrifying. Until we remember that we have never known. ~ Kelly Gores, Director of the HEAL Documentary, Author of the HEAL book
Much of what we believed unshakable givens have all too quickly been blown away like the house of cards they have always been. Many sit at home eager to get back to the lives they lived. It has not sunk in that this is it - our lives have already changed.
Use this time wisely to get to know who you are and what you want. Dig deep and far into every nook and cranny of your interior. Strengthen and fortify your confidence and belief in yourself.
So when the world finally opens up to us once more we are better and can contribute more as that will be sorely needed in this new future unleashed upon our old unwilling selves.
It is a brave new world that will require every ounce of our courage and commitment to live well and responsibly. As we will be held to account for it for sure.
