I don’t see it as trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

“Good” and “Bad” are subjective terms… most of the time.

I see it as simply working to find JOY, PURPOSE and MEANING everyday… regardless of the situation.

It’s no different than when times are “good”, the struggle, the challenge is the same.

What excites me about this time - is the opportunity to SIMPLIFY my life…

Less Travel…

Fewer Number of Things To Work On…

Fewer Options To Consider Socially…

No Games To Attend…

Life has become simpler… and, I am excited about that.

Many of the excuses I used to justify my lack of compliance with behaviors I want to adopt, are simply gone. In fact, possibly, all of them.

So, these days, I take one at a time…

I am excited for change.

I am excited for new problems to solve.

I am excited to taste a simpler existence.

I am excited to spend more time with family.

I am excited to live the rest of my life a little more aware that plans are never set.

I am excited to live the rest of my life more conscious that now matters…

And that staying flexible is essential to staying joyful.

I know this time will cause deaths (though I question it will be truly incremental deaths to statistical norms) or simply deaths that we are more aware and present for…

I know this time will cause financial stress and strain on many… and it will also create great clarity for many about the unrealistic certainty we place on financial gain…

I know this time will cause many to be anxious and afraid… and my hope is that in dealing with that fear, we will become stronger, more aware of our ability to adapt and survive life’s situations…

I could wish this wasn’t happening… but that would be wasteful… and it would be disharmony.

Or, I could embrace these days as a gift from the universe to think differently about my life and my days… and try a little harder, or a little differently at becoming more of the man I aspire to be…

I am grateful for these days… They are a gift…

I realize how fortunate I am…

And, I realize how so many of the boundaries that I put around my life are either artificial… or unnecessary…

How can these days redefine your boundaries?

How can these days redefine your JOY?

How can these days redefine your ability to live the life you WANT?

Hmmmm….

Perhaps,

you’ve got a little more time to think about it…

in harmony,

Nestor
