Drucker and Kubler-Ross
Growth cannot happen without discomfort.
Learning cannot happen without careful thought.
More than the functional and emotional issues surrounding the world today, I stopped to think about what good there is left to anticipate and expect. There is the motivation to move forward as best as we can day after day, quietness and trust from where hope arises, the support system that gives us guidance and direction and the impact that we can each make within our little quarantined pockets of influence.
I saw a social media post that records the current state of the world for posterity’s sake: from gas prices, to TikTok being the ‘in’ thing, to people working from home. The post that will remind us of this period in our lives every year from now on until Facebook changes its mind and removes Memories from its list of features. And then I caught myself anticipating April 4, 2021, and this entry will have aged a year and would be, by then, an outdated piece of evidence of how frail life truly is for everyone no matter how advanced our technology becomes, and how temporary discomfort can be once man learns to accept and to adjust to the changing times.
