Suddenly, in all of the hysteria over the coronavirus and COVID-19, suddenly, everyone is concerned with hand-washing and cleaning potentially infected areas. The local public transportation department is now talking about wiping down “frequently touched” surfaces. Now? Shouldn’t this be a standard practice? As well, shouldn’t we always practice proper infection control? I worry what will become of our self-care and community-care practices when the threat of COVID-19 subsides.
We tend to handle our lives the same way—we tend only to prepare (to have a plan for growth) when forced. We tend to be reactive rather than proactive. Reactive never gets us ahead.
Have a plan and act on it. Don’t wait until there is no choice. Act now. Make growth standard practice. Plan to grow Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Socially—before life dictates that you—react.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
