Life Is About Adjustments

Today is day two of the 42 Lockdown days. 

If you remember the first days of Lockdown, many of us were anticipating that COVID19 would end after a month or two but that did not happen and until now we are still dealing with this pandemic.

One of the most important things that happened to many of us as we listened to the president address us is that we kept on adjusting. We told ourselves we can wait a little more even if the situation was very inconveniencing. Our attitude and minds played a lot in our mental fortitude to sail through that COVID storm. 

As they started to ease down on some of the restrictions, that still required adjustment, those who worked from home, had to again master working away from home and now we are back again to 30% working from the office and others from home, that still requires adjustment, it’s like shifting from one place to another.

There are people who could be distraught and in great despair. You probably started a business after Lockdown and you were now making great strides and boom!!! Somehow things have slowed down after the directive. You could have taken a loan to rejuvenate your business and now what was bringing you money is cut down. You could have paid fees and now the kids are back. 

It’s a tough pill to swallow but you have to remain steadfast and firm. Your mental campus will be key to how you navigate this season. 

“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose finite hope” – Martin Luther King 

Choose to drive your energy to some of the great gains you have made, look at the lessons learned, the small wins gained. Just Martin Luther said, let us never lose finite hope. Your hope and optimism right now is your anchor; it is what will keep you going. Focus on what you can and not what you can’t. 

Thich Nhat Hanh said and I quote, “Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”

Use these 42 days to grow and do the rights things knowing tomorrow will be better even if the future seems blick. If you are too challenged, say a Prayer and Let God take over.

#Adjust it starts with your mind, you have the power and will to do it.
