It is hard not to become depressed looking at these numbers. I am working towards changing my mindset from learning to growth. As I have researched this pandemic in order to write this blog I have learned much about the virus and how the world is dealing. There have been some successes and some failures. The battle against the coronavirus aka Covid19 continues and more lives were lost yesterday. In some areas it seems the curve is flattening, but we are far from a place of relaxation. As the caseload reaches nearly 1.5 million our resources are alarmingly low. The world continues to create hospital supplies needed on a daily basis. We are doing our part over hear by social distancing and wearing our mask and gloves in public. The next steps are to continue to change our mindset and grow from this experience, as horrifying as it has been, to come out of it alive and somehow a better person. There is an attitude that starts with gratitude and takes you through to allowing yourself grace, but along the way we must find inside of us the energy and desire to change for the better. So, when this pandemic is over we are not nearly victims of circumstance, but champions of fortitude and solidarity. There is no blame (although some will) for blame only pushes control away. We need to be in control of ourselves and it starts with choice. No matter the situation we always have choice.
Victor Frankl said it best, " Everything can be taken from a man (or woman) but one thing; the last of the human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Which way will you choose?
