Brave New World 43

You can’t necessarily run your life as you used to.

But you are still on the greatest planet in the known universe.

When is enough?

A thoughtful article helps put things in perspective.

How to Escape in 50

(1) so you wish to escape? (2) from what, exactly? (3) and very importantly TO what? (4) is this a dream or a plan? (5) a conversation of hyperbole to impress others? (6) or a detailed flight plan to manifest that powerful imagination that is rarely spotted behind those home-based-bunker walls? (7) sounds good (8) so who can help? (9) what resources do you need? (10) now shorten that list in 9 (11) and shorten it again (12) how quickly can you get those resources? (13) again: a dream or a plan?

100 Words

Getting lost is no fun. There are feelings of irritation and simple incompetence. There are thoughts of things we should have done, might have done.  The Brave New World of Covid-19 often creates intense feelings of being lost. Businesses no longer work the way they do,  career paths and study paths are broken. It often takes time to find the way again. Or sometimes we have to take another path. And sometimes that new path can work out. And sometimes we have to search for yet another path. But have no doubt: there will be a path, whatever your quest. Stay strong, stay resilient, stay focused. And never, ever give up.
