What is the message? We ALL know better than this.

Don’t use all that toilet paper.  Be conscious of how much you consume.  We don’t know what lies ahead but what we do know…..a message.

In order to make sense of the chaos, one must find the purpose.  For most, it is not the illness that we fear most.  It is what is happening all around us.

Everything is closing, everything changing.  We look into the news, into our feeds and we watch the world unravel before our eyes.  We try to answer the questions from our children in a lighthearted and positive way, yet we find that harder and harder to accomplish.

We can’t help but pay attention to….Well frankly, all of it.

So what does it all mean.  What can we do to ease the burden of our anxiety?

I believe it is our duty to be conscious.  We knew something like this would face us.  We knew we couldn’t keep going like this.

We must look at the feat in front of us, be strong, and remember we are all here to learn.  COVID-19 may be the most valuable lesson many us will ever face in this lifetime.  Our mothers and fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, they all had something similar to this.  No it has never been so heavy.  But we have been heavy.  We have been taking and taking, climbing and stepping on our brothers and sisters.

We are humanity and this is a peril.  Many of us will make it through this, but the question remains, what will we do different.

Don’t Panic; So why is everything getting shut down?

The question amongst all of us.  As we watch our lives get thrust into the unknown, we worry, question, and fear for our lives.

They tell us, “Don’t Panic”, and though we so badly want to believe them, we can’t help but use our common sense.

Have you EVER seen the NBA shutdown?  What about Disney, South by Southwest, Coachella?

Have your kids ever been told, school for your child was not an option until further notice?

The answer that we all know to be true is NO.

But “Don’t Panic”

It is true that panic brings out the worst in people, but it also has the potential to bring out the best.  When confined to your homes you may find yourself saying hello to a neighbor.

Panic has the possibility to witness our greatest moment.  So as we all know right now, in this moment, we are in danger.  It is our ability to rise up, be humble, and help each other survive one of the greatest threats to our world as we know it.

Be the Best You, The World is Counting On It.
