Dear Readers, remember when talks of magical habits to be successful were all the rage before the pandemic? Waking up early, meditating, working out, drinking water journaling, to name a few, were all the rage. Dear Readers, do you remember how people would not stop raving about how the law of attraction had changed their lives? But, when the pandemic hit, many of us felt like they were losing it sitting at home due to interminable lockdowns. And now that there are growing whispers of fall lockdowns due to the second wave of coronavirus spiking cases, what are we to do? Fear not, Dear Readers, this blog is kicking off a mindset for success series to help you get out of your mind, leave your apprehensions behind, adapt to a new normal, and become a kick-ass productivity powerhouse who takes no prisoners!
Welcome, Dear Readers, thanks for stopping by the JMS blog! The JMS team is back with valuable insights that will inspire you to be fearless in the pursuit of your dreams. FYI, JMS is a consulting firm located in Philadelphia that advises people and organizations on how to manage crises with efficiency. To that end, the JMS team is in the business of designing recovery plans as robust as possible that avoid behavioral and financial paralysis. Therefore, Dear Readers, this blog will help you make sense of these unprecedented times without feeling devoid of motivation and utterly defeated. You got this, Dear Readers, and don’t you ever forget it!
Dear Readers, the goal of this series is to encourage you to stop letting fear dictate how to live. It’s as simple as that. Yes, we are in a pandemic, and talks of vaccines are encouraging for sure. But what are you supposed to do in the meantime? Sit on our hands and lose our marbles? Absolutely not! This blog is interested in helping you live your life to the fullest and engage with the world around you to your best abilities!
The first mindset for success in a pandemic is to take responsibility as life is not fair!
Working with teams has taught the JMS team that this first mindset is the most difficult one to accept and yet the most beneficial to personal growth once conquered! So listen, Dear Readers, this blog is not here to make you feel like crap or judge you. That is not what we’re doing. Not today! But this blog must be honest, or else we are all wasting time (the number one pet peeve here at JMS, so rest assured that we won’t be doing that to you, Dear Readers)!
Dear Readers, the reason this blog chose to share this mindset first is that to be successful in life, you must be honest with yourself and put in the work to become the person you want to be. Point. Blank. Period! OK, Dear Readers, here is your reality check! So, if you are unhappy with your current situation, it must mean that you made a few bad decisions that landed you here where you don’t want to be. Let’s be honest, Dear Readers, deep down in your heart, you know it’s true! The good news is that you can change your life and begin to live your wildest dreams today (even in a pandemic)!!!
All you have to do, Dear Readers, is to have the earnest desire to take responsibility for your life today and explore how you can be a better version of yourself moving forward. Now, if the nation descends in another interminable lockdown and even robs us of the holiday season, you need to OK to be by your lonesome selves, Dear Readers! Why not do the work now to start liking your life now so that you won’t dread a fall lockdown and make real progress towards your goals and dreams.
There you have it, Dear Readers! What do you think? Do you know another way to stay widely ambitious amid a global pandemic? Share with us how you will be taking responsibility for your own lives this autumn and what will you be doing to fall in love all over again with your dreams and actively shape the future you want!
