2020 came with vengeance! It forced us to go back to the old school drawing board to draft our new normal, because honestly NOW is when you have the TIME to actually make a plan that fits the current reality. Watch the video below to hear more on how I have been redefining my true North! So, what’s your true North right now? Because the journey MUST continue! With the beginning of a decade that came crashing down in a split second (or should I say several splits!), we found ourselves with no sense of direction coupled in with the misery of lost plans and situational mishaps.
We were all walking on the very ground that suddenly forced us to retreat and only make (peek -a-boo) appearances for the most basic survival needs and that too was / is (tense depending on your lockdown situation) shook a lot of us folks! Because we didn’t see this coming. How did we get to this point? So much has changed so fast! Whether it’s events around health, the economy, social, political and civil unrests, you name it
None of it is an anomaly anymore. This is the new normal! And we have to let the GPS recalculate to find where this new North is facing. We have to acknowledge that this change translates into:
- A seismic shift in the foundation of who we are
- A mindset change
- A culture shift
And just with any change, there is always the risk of the unknown. How will tomorrow look like? As I look back in my life and recall some of the major life events, I am reminded that this too shall pass! So instead of wallowing in misery, I choose to:
- Be consciously open-minded
- Self-onboard on the new way of doing things
- Create goals for the remaining 4 months
- Start to envision how 2021 will be an amazing year
This is how I am searching for my new North and my new normal! And the journey continues!
