Many people are calling
this unusual time period
we’re currently living in
“The Great Pause.”
This is as good
a name as any other
but
it is a bit misleading.
Because it won’t be a pause.
A pause suggests
everything will go back
to ‘normal’
and many of us realize
that won’t happen.
This experience will change us.
It also suggests
nothing is happening.
And that’s not at all true.
Beings are fighting
to save lives.
That’s WHY we’re doing this.
In addition to that,
leaders are leading.
Sales are happening.
Some physical stores
are open
and
all online stores
are operating.
And business builders
are building businesses.
We’re figuring out
how to operate
during this crisis
and how to remain in business
during the upcoming changes.
Do what you have to do
to ensure you survive this
– physically, mentally, emotionally,
and if that means
you need to take a break,
take it.
But recognize
the efforts,
the hard work of others,
while you do that.
This isn’t a ‘Great Pause’
for everyone
and it won’t be a ‘Pause’
for long.
