Saying 2020 had been a rough year, would be an understatement.
No one had a real or true comprehension of what a lockdown of a whole country would look like, or what it intailed. Looking back at the last couple of weeks, I get a sense of doom as I reflect on what is to come. Will I recover? will we recover? and when? and how?
While the sense of doom lingers, one can't help but to reflect on how much complaining has become part of our very day lives. Even worse, we complain about things beyond our control. I reflect on how I stopped counting my blessings and instead I was counting the negatives.
As day 25 comes to an end, I have been reflecting on plan- B's (will share in further later), and the lessons that I have learnt since the beginning of the year, the pandemic, and Post global crisis. ↴
I also came across this opinion piece writen by Rapelang Rabana for Daily Maverick, which got me thinking and reflecting more on the Current Crisis. I thought I should share...
Hope the words resonate with you too.
" The biggest block to creativity and innovation results from people’s broad acceptance of the status quo, and I would even say, the emotional commitment to the “way things are”. A blind adherence to “this is how the world works”, like it’s the truth.
Most of us don’t realise that we spend our entire lives living in our own self-created box, a bell jar that determines so much of our behaviour, how our brain is wired, and how we end up seeing the world – so much so that we are not aware that we only seeing ONE view of the world.
Corona forces us to see that the status quo can change, very dramatically and very quickly. That the things we held to be constant, are not so permanent."
