Love this! Good reminder to not simply survive, but rather thrive.

The pandemic is the most devastating event to rock the world. But it has leveled the play field and everyone has learned a lesson. As you said, fear and pain can propel one to greatness.

These are great thoughts! The pandemic has been such a complex time for everyone. While much of it has been negative, there have been some silver linings of positivity that have come out of it. I know that I dont want to go back to the busy schedule I had pre-pandemic. I have cut out most extra activities, and am very selective in how I bring things back into my life. Thanks for a great post!

The pandemic has definitely changed me, I have learnt so many new skills, lost my original job due to shielding. Started a new job and began writing again after 9 years. Emotionally I have learnt how to connect more and appreciate people in my life, especially my parents. Working on rebuilding relationships

I’ve never been patient my all life and a positive side of this pandemic is that I finally (sometimes) am!

I definitely agree that this pandemic has taught us many things . I’m continuing to learn from it . Although I had fear before , it’s slowly fading away. I will continue doing my part with testing and following precautions. I’m also growing through this pandemic.

I find I have to stay away from social media to avoid the conspiracy theories and arguments with strangers over differing opinions. Even just reading comments on a news story can be toxic. I recently had a conversation with two homeless men, and it really grounded me, and reminded me to be grateful. Things aren’t nearly as bad as I often act like they are (I’m a control freak too, and often complain when things don’t go according to how I planned them) and just how to put things in perspective. I’ve found myself very calm and grounded since that conversation. Reading this amazing post gave me that same feeling and it was a great reminder to simply be kind to others because we’re all in this together.

I thought that I’ve gotten over the “FEAR” that came with the pandemic, but recent happenings in our country revived some of those undesirable feelings again. I am trying SO HARD to move along with life and grow from it instead. Thank you for this — I got reminded!

This is such a great way to look at our current situation. It’s so easy to get caught up in the fear and anxiety surrounding the pandemic, another lockdown and the uncertainty of our future. No one knows what to expect and when (or if) we will return to normal once again. Rather than focusing on the negatives and the unknowns, as you pointed out, we can redirect our focus and learn from the discomfort. For me, it has led to another (smaller) career shift and a larger shift in my overall priorities – especially in terms of how much time I set aside to spend with family. We haven’t seen anyone in FAR too long, but we’re getting there… if we just keep plugging forward and learning as we go. Right?
