Hard to say, but I know I’m really fuckin’ lucky.

And as much as I shy away from platitudes about how loving what you do means not working a day in your life, there is a nugget of truth to it.

While I find myself perpetually exhausted, the lack of time to work & the other constraints that have affected my home and work life over the last 6 weeks have also reinforced a few things for me…

1. Now is a time to double down on learning … whether in our businesses or our personal lives, anytime life slows down, it’s a signal to me to focus on learning something new that will help me adapt, grow, or level up.

2. Erring on the side of giving is a good karmic bet … I am lucky enough to not worry about food or work, and I have a support system I am almost sheepish about, which only further convinces me that showing up and giving more in a human way is a great investment in ourselves and in the world. Whether the nonprofits we love or all the incredible local projects that have cropped up, there are more outlets to give than ever.

3. We are all feeling pinched in some way, but I’ve got it good … for those of us who are lucky to just be annoyed by the state of things now, it really is so important to keep in perspective how much Covid-19 is disproportionately affecting working & minority communities. This point can not only help us open up our wallets to good causes but also spurs on the next point…

4. How will what we learn and how we adapt inform our contribution to solutions of the future?? How do we connect? What do we work on?

It’s that last point I’m unsure of.

But I see a lot of upside…………..
