So many uncertainties. This moment in our lives is one that we will never forget, but what are you remembering about this moment in time? 

We tend to view the world from three perspectives. This perspective is based on your individual level of adaptation. I would like to think of this moment as BLACK-GRAY-WHITE. As a social worker by trade, the common perception with how we view something is that it DEPENDS- Nothing is ever either black or white, there is always some gray area (the depends). The notion behind this common principle is that people are complex beings and no one person is alike. 

We as a people desire structure, routine, and reassurance because it helps us to move along with our days without feelings of uncertainty. But when there has been a level of disruption it causes significant chaos because it leaves you trying to figure out move should you make next. However, this disruption is not permanent and the other side of this situation has the potential to create positive outcomes for the collective. 

Although the current issue we are facing impacts a greater entity but let’s think about you from the perspective of being a contributor to this larger issue. When disruptions cannot occur in something that is evolving. Disruptions does not mean destroyed. We can also look at disruptions as the push to move us out of comfort to discomfort. When you operate from a place of discomfort, you are open to working with the “what can be,” “what will be,” as an act of hope. Hope gives us the courage to see a future in which you have contributed. 

Discomfort makes us believe that anything is possible and although levels of fear may be present, your desire to get the other side is greater than the fear.
