Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

Yes, times are tough. But it’s also a time full of amazing opportunities.
If you find yourself with “free time”, NOW is the time to take advantage of it.
Don’t waste it doing things you could easily do ANY time.
Connect. Write. Make music. Create art. Pursue something you rarely get time to do.
Do something worth remembering that you will thank yourself for.
These may not be beautiful times, but you can still do & make beautiful things despite them.
Write. Make music. Create art. Work on a skill.
Channel your love & passion.
Whatever it is, let your heart & creativity speak through what you produce.
Adopting a mental attitude capable of dealing with necessary changes in a positive way is far more productive than making yourself miserable by focusing on all the things you don’t like about change.
A healthy attitude lifts people — a negative attitude does the opposite.

Better to live with your eyes open and acknowledge what you can’t control — while directing your attention to what you can — than to pretend that the things you don’t wish to see don’t exist.

A tsunami survivor is on the beach. They see the ocean recede into the distance and realize what it means.
So they start alerting people to what’s coming. But rather than listen, the people ask their friends what the water receding could mean. And their friends give them all kinds of answers. And many of them are reassuring.
“It’s a hoax.” “We haven’t had a tsunami for 100 years.” “I’m sure it will be fine.”
So they do very little when they could be doing a lot.
And then the tsunami comes.

When incompetent people are in charge, how much incentive do you think competent people have to stick around to be led by someone who is really bad at what they do?
None.
So they leave (or get fired) & what you’re left with is incompetence at every level of an administration.

How a person behaves & what they do is far more reflective of the truth than what they say.
Strong leadership & caring for others involves a lot more than simply stating you care for others.
People who are good at what they do don’t have to tell you — they show it.
If you now lack confidence that your elected officials are working 100% for the people they are responsible for leading, protecting, and representing — this is why it’s important to vote for competent people who do more than just try to personally benefit from their position.

If you’re upset about the closings, just wait 5-10 days. Once you know people who test positive, you may realize that things weren’t closed or taken seriously soon enough.
People often don’t take things seriously until they suffer consequences of not taking things seriously.
