The great Charles R. Swindoll once said, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” The quote is fitting now that the world has experienced another pandemic. Most of the population are at home. People have lost jobs. Some barely can afford the rent. Most do what it takes to survive. In this unique times we live in, the strong eat the weak.

From a macro perspective, the pandemic has helped mother earth restore its beauty. Have you noticed it? If not, maybe you’re too stuck living from a narrow perspective. Think bigger. There are things bigger than yourself, things that matter more than yourself. The world isn’t about you and it doesn’t care about you, so don’t make this situation all about you. But what you can do about is, plan ways to get better in terms of skills, mental health, physical health, networking, and awareness. Adopt the mentality of finding the best things from the bad things and don’t complain about it. What makes people extraordinary is the mindset and perspective. If people see losses, make sure you find the gains. In this kind of generation we live in, only the mentally strong win.

Things The world is winning on:

  1. Environmental restoration
  2. Great reset from economic crash
