Keep calm and carry on!
Why the world needs your magic now more than ever.
Yes, we have a situation.
Yes, things are not normal.
Our survival is at stake.
How can you not panic?
The default is to panic.
Everyone is panicking. Why shouldn’t I?
Panic and fear do not take us far.
They drain us.
They make us miserable.
They make the situation worse.
The situation is simple.
It is not easy, but it is simple. To survive:
- Stay at home. Minimise the number of times we leave home (preferably keep it to zero)
- Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from every human.
- Order the minimum grocery that is needed for the week.
- Wash hands for 20 seconds when bringing in the grocery or anytime we have to leave home.
- If we have excess money, donate it to someone in need.
That’s it. There is nothing else we can do to survive in this situation.
Survival alone causes misery. We need to thrive.
We are in this for the long haul. Few weeks to few months.
Most of us can survive that time without much issue. The essential services will be running and we are lucky that we are more or less likely to make it through.
But, survival alone has never brought happiness to humans.
Survival is fixed mindset. Survival is necessity. It is hygiene, but it is rarely motivational.
Things are normal, if you let them be.
When we keep the above checklist aside, we can observe that most of the above things don’t take time.
Instead, we have a plethora of time and energy to work on projects and activities that can make ours’ and others’ lives better.
Not working on these projects seems like a crime to me.
Panic is easy. To ‘Do the Work’ is difficult.
There is no escaping ‘work’.
Life becomes meaningless without it.
I am not talking about the work for money’s sake.
I am talking about work for work’s sake.
What would you do even if you had a million dollars in your bank account? What would you create? What would you share?
Create your magic. The world needs it now more than ever.
Do you really need a million dollars?
Can you make do with what you have?
You have time and energy. I think that’s all you need.
What have you got to lose now?
Create your magic and share with us. We need it.
Get going.
The world is waiting for your magic.
Thank you!
