Hey!
I have two questions for you, which may help you think differently about the current situation.
I've now asked these questions to hundreds of people and am consistently inspired by the answers I recieve.
- What decisions are you glad you made BEFORE COVID-19 happened, which are helping you better cope with the sitution?
- How is your FUTURE SELF helping you get beyond COVID-19?
Regarding Question 1: Here are a few great quotes:
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war."―Norman Schwarzkopf
"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat."—Richard Marcinko
Looking at your situation now, what are you most glad you were doing or focusing on BEFORE all this happened?
You can never anticipate something like this. But you can prepare yourself, both economically and spiritually. When spiritually prepared, you keep things in perspective, even during very painful moments.
Regarding Question 2: We all have a "FUTUER SELF" concept. Some people have taken more time to clarify and conceptualize who they intend to become.
Without having a clear "FUTURE SELF" concept, it is actually impossible to know who you currently are. If you don't know where you're going, then what difference does it make what you do today?
The clearer your FUTURE SELF, the better you can handle difficult situations. The more courageous and focused you'll be when things get messy. The less you'll be thrown-off by every situation factor.
Yes, things are crazy right now. Yes, it's easy to be distracted. But motivation (and happiness) plummets when you're doing nothing. Depression is the byproduct of passivity.
To that end, here's an article to help you stay focused: You Miss Every Shot You Don't Take

P.S. If you have a podcast, or know someone who does... I'd love to be on it to discuss Personality Isn't Permanent, which comes out in June.
