All of us have a story to tell. The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a reminder that we live life without knowledge of the hardships we’ll face nor a guarantee of the number of pages we have the absolute privilege to turn on our personal journey to the back cover.
Fortunately, the opposite is also true. Luck is often examined in hindsight, but we have no idea what love, friendship, success, and joy await us.
If you’re able to do so, I hope that you take some time — even a few precious minutes — to journal or record a video every few days to build an archive of your experience through this moment in time. Good or bad, remember that you won’t feel this way forever; the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, was correct when he stated that “change is the only constant in life.”
Take some time to reflect, revise, and recharge. If your inner voice — or the narrator in your head — has been telling your story in a morose tone (even when times are good), pay attention and practice switching it up.
Everyone has a story. Including you.
What plot twist does today’s chapter revolve around, what’s the tone of the next few pages, and (just as importantly) what will your story reveal, overcome, and celebrate in the future?
Give life the green light. It’s A Go!
