Living Through A Pandemic and Maintaining Productivity

Bottom Line:

Have more than one goal. Whatever you do, just keep those goals grounded in reality. If you're seventy, you're probably not going to start learning ballet on pointe at this point in your life. However, some ballroom dancing, even by yourself while watching YouTube videos learning dance moves.  

Here are the TOP FIVE things you DO NOT do once you attain your goal:

1. DO NOT become complacent

2. DO NOT shut down

3. DO NOT give up

4. DO NOT think you have no more purpose

5. DO NOT wait to die

Here are the TOP FIVE things YOU DO do when you attain your goal:

1. DO look forward to each day

2. DO continue to see life as an adventure

3. DO seek out the “fresh wonder” in life

4. DO set the new goal, and begin to plan your strategy to achieve it

5. DO have more than one thing you can look forward to  

Stay grounded

How do you keep a consistent positive or, at the very least, neutral, attitude in a constantly changing world? How can you keep your perspective and affect the best attitude even when everything around you threatens to tear you down like a house in a hurricane? How can you stay down-to-earth and relatable even in a position of high-power, so your staff sees you not as the czar and the enemy, but as someone leading a team with a common, cooperative goal? You have to keep at it. There's a pervading wisdom at the time of this writing that human beings default to negative thinking, as a defense mechanism especially during a pandemic. If that's the case, that means humans are predisposed to self-sabotage, which makes it that more important than not to change your thinking, your attitude, and your perspective. 

We will get through this bleak time in our history and we will be stronger for it.
