Today marks the day when the absolute majority of countries around the world implemented restrictions on the lives of their citizens as well as those of other nations who wished to cross their borders. Many of us lamented the fact that life had lost its normalcy that subsequently made us stuck in our homes and compelled to work and study remotely. That was when many of us abandoned our goals and succumbed to a new routine that was marked by aimlessness and time wasted on social media or behind TV screens randomly scrolling and switching.
On this day last year I told all of my friends that one man’s nightmare is another man’s fortune and encouraged them to take advantage of all the opportunities available during this tough time. Above all, I emphasized on making sure their time was not wasted since any given pandemic usually lasts for a year or two and any habit picked up during this period will be incredibly hard to dispose of later on.
Well, a year has passed and now it is time for an honest assessment of your progress, or lack there of, during the past 12 months. When you look back at the time that went by do you feel proud of how you spent your time and sense that the pandemic was a blessing in disguise that allowed you to develop clarity, pursue your goals with less distraction, dedicate more time to study and reflection, set your priorities straight, save more money due to the inevitable lower need for consumption so as to build a financial security bucket or use it as investment capital, and above all build mental toughness? Or do you instead feel hurt, lament all the boring days that went by, suffer from lack of confidence after having seen that you can easily lose sight of your goals upon facing with a crisis, and above all found yourself repeatedly blaming the local authorities for having turned your life into a personal hell?
The bad news is that the 12 months that went by won’t ever come back, it is gone along with all the opportunities that it presented! The good news is that all the experts in the field of public health believe we will soon get out of this critical situation thanks to the increasing pace of vaccination that will lead to herd immunity but until then there are still quite a few months left which means you can decide to make the most of your time until World Health Organization (WHO) officially declares this pandemic as over, and believe me that day will come!
Today as we look back at the progress made during the last 12 months we keep our eyes on the prize of the future and commit to making the most of our time in the coming months!
