How will each of us conduct ourselves in moments of crisis?<\/span><\/p>\n

With something, more than worry, I hope.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

With something, more than hoarding toilet paper, I hope.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

With something more than holing oneself self up in your house, I hope.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

A crisis can be an opportunity to create something new.\u00a0 A chance to personally grow and reflect on what has been working and\u00a0 not working in your life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Instead of sulking through more news updates, watching the stock market get clobbered or uploading another movie on Netflix – I have decided to go learn something new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, the world is changing, and it will need all of us to contribute. In a week or a month, or a year from now.\u00a0 How will you look back at this time in your life?<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you have used your opportunity to contribute and play your part in this new reorganized world we are existing within?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or will you have only enjoyed your stockpile of toilet paper and overabundance of hand sanitizer?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, be wise where you go.\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, be informed.\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, be vigilant and encourage your elders to stay safe and inside.\u00a0 <\/span>But let\u2019s not stop there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Let\u2019s be generous.\u00a0 <\/span>Love those around us.\u00a0 <\/span>Be a survivor.\u00a0 <\/span>I<\/span>f you are safe, then you have an opportunity to help.\u00a0 <\/span>To connect.\u00a0 <\/span>To care.\u00a0 <\/span>To create.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all have choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not want to just isolate myself and merely endure the crisis.\u00a0 I am going to m<\/span>ake a choice within the context of my life and create something new.<\/span><\/p>\n

The paradox of pandemonium is that its a reminder that life is far more fragile than we think about daily.\u00a0 <\/span>Its a lesson that the systems we rely so heavily upon can be easily upended.\u00a0 <\/span>The world as we know has been altered.\u00a0 <\/span>It needs you now to be ready and give your meaningful contribution.\u00a0 Stay tuned to my next course of action.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, do not waste your own toilet paper moment of truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be the change you wish to see in the world.<\/p>\n
