The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so we can live our dreams.
Oprah Winfrey
One of the challenges of these times is to remain balanced and to focus on the positives in our present and to spend some time planning for our future. It is all to easy to long for days gone by and to succumb to rumination about all that we may be missing out on in our lives because of the pandemic.
As the weather has become colder and the virus spread intensifies, it may seem even harder to focus on our goals, future hopes and dreams.
Seeking opportunities to develop skills that we ordinarily would never take the time to learn may take us down a path that has the potential to land us in a more positive place down the road.
Becoming more mindful of our health of both ourselves and those around us may have unexpected benefits in the future.
Learning unique ways to stay connected with one another may teach us to become more intentional with our connections and relationships.
Using technology to learn new skills may force us to move in directions that open up a realm of new opportunities and possibilities.
Taking time to develop a practice, routine, or set of activities that make us feel better about our selves and others is something we can carry forward and build into our future day to day lives.
Our world has been consumed with busyness and missed moments because there isn’t ever enough time to focus on goals or our aspirational dreams. Instead of living in regret for what we are missing right now, we could take these moments to reframe all of what is happening in our present reality as gifts which may enhance new learning. It’s time to release those ghosts in our past that have served as barriers and to embrace what may now be possible for our future.
Stay healthy and safe!
