Welcome, Dear Readers, and 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!
Sooooooooo, Dear Readers, we can all agree that 2020 has been an exhausting and traumatizing year. There is no good news in sight! Does that mean that you cannot end the year on top of your game? Why not? Why waste time pining for the things that are outside of your control, Dear Readers? Yes, COVID-19 related restrictions are indeed taking away so much of our personal lives. And you are entitled to be angry with the policies that local elected officials are imposing on you. But, Dear Readers, it doesn’t mean that you should spend the entire lockdown 2.0 fuming, ruminating, and hating life right before the holidays, no less!!! Is that conducive to having a meaningful life?
Consequently, the third mindset for success in lockdown is to choose to grow and adapt without any delay.
Truthfully, when facing a real setback or outsized obstacle such as the black swan event that is the coronavirus, most human beings become paralyzed by fear. This behavior is normal. But, if you want to succeed, Dear Readers, you must choose to face it all. If you think about it, Dear Readers, surviving a catastrophe is how you grow and mature. Yes, it’s painful. Yes, no one in their right mind wants to put one’s livelihood in harm’s way on purpose! Yet, transforming one’s life for the better requires going through the peaks and valleys of life. It is impossible to gain wisdom if nothing ever challenges you, Dear Readers!
So, what does that mean for you in lockdown? It means, Dear Readers, that you have the opportunity to reevaluate what you want out of life as well as recommit to your values and goals. For better or worse, Dear Readers, the global pandemic has changed us all forever! The sheer reach of COVID-19 has traumatized many of us. Dear Readers, to overcome his trauma effectively, you will need to adapt without any further delay! In short, you must choose to grow so that you are better off after the lockdown! Because, God willing, Dear Readers, we will all have a long and productive life after the coronavirus (even if it all looks pretty bleak right this moment)! But life, as you knew it pre-COVID19, is not likely to go back to how it used to be. Therefore, Dear Readers, it is to your advantage to embrace this lockdown as the unexpected invitation to grow rather than resist such an unwelcomed change.
