And in all this, opportunity exists…
…for seeking peace of mind, balance between the mental and physical, as well as for sanity itself. Thereafter, one could even look for the opportunity for material gain since meaning often times comes from chaos.
Thank you for this article as it calls for a deliberate fallback plan to seek the familiar in order not to get lost in the cacophony that normally accompanies sudden and disruptive change like we are currently witnessing with this pandemic.
Thank you Abdullahi Love your words “And in all this, opportunity exists-” I will put this at eye level in my writing room so that I may be reminded every day.
Yes it does.
The thought that certainty and security are important and that it naturally exists in nature.
But sometimes we cannot see it because there is a crisis (massive energy jumping up and down).
However beyond that crisis or just beneath it, lies our ability to create safety, and our resilience to evolve within the changes..
Thanks Susan for your confidence in “our resilience to evolve within the changes”.
