An old
movie[1]
showed a very hypothetical situation: imagine if Earth activities would stop
completely; it takes place in the fiction work by neutralizing electricity everywhere.
In our reality,
it is taking place by a virus and reality is completely different than fiction.
And there are
consequences – the 1951 movie hasn’t showed much of the bad results, but in
this era, we are watching it online.
Now, by
writing this post I have always wanted to stimulate a different positive
realistic approach in relation to reality. So I won’t get into the negative
consequences we can know anytime by tuning
into any media.
But there
is something that is being talked at many of the current media: recession. It is an almost cursed word
that takes us to images and stories we would prefer to avoid. I myself was brought
up very far from the recession epicenter, in time and space, but I consumed so
many movies that sometimes I felt I went through the recession, and the
sensation was very bad…
So, what to
do? Just cry and blame something or someone? Fight?
These are
times of uncertainty, that is true, but these are also times for good
leadership. At least, a good self-leadership.
By being your own leader, perhaps you won’t solve the crisis, but you can have more
clarity about what to do.
It is an
opportunity for reinvention, to rethink the self and to choose new routes for
your life.
It is a
wonderful opportunity to take over your own life and design it in a way that
your resilience increases and you are able to obtain success even against the
odds.
It is an opportunity
for solidarity, cooperation and a sense of being part of a big human family, as
we never had before.
It is an
opportunity… even though it does not look like that a few times. Just try it to
see the situations in this different way and check the results.
This is part of a series of posts on self-care.
