016 - MORALE BOOST #2

<p>Do not crack.  DO NOT START FALLING APART as this pandemic drags on,  Do not break discipline AT ALL, no matter what your circumstances are.  It is November 3rd 2020, and we are 8 months into the COVID-19 pandemic.   Yes, there are still millions of people out there suffering various health, financial, physical and emotional impacts.  Maybe you have family or friends suffering, and you feel for them.  Maybe the person suffering is you.  We ALL miss normality. Yes, there might be a second wave for the next several weeks.  Yes, parts of the world are going back into some form of lockdown again to try to better weather the storm. Being a ROCK, even in tough and trying times, no matter how long any crisis lasts, is core to our approach and philosophy.  Doing whatever it takes to not just survive, but to thrive, is core to our beliefs.  The people you care about need you more than ever to support them, to be absolutely reliable, and to be a strong positive example. This pandemic will end soon enough.  Maybe by the end of 2021 things will be much better.   Maybe 2022, I don’t know.  What I do know is that the worst of this won’t last forever.  Not matter HOW LONG it takes, when this mess is over, and you think back over it down the road, you want to be PROUD of how you conducted yourself EVERY DAY OF IT.  You want to be proud of how you acted from start to finish.  You want to be proud of how you held down your job or your business, and how well you treated and showed up and supported your family, friends, coworkers, colleagues, and customers.  You want to be proud of how you were someone that your family and friends, and your neighbors, and your community could count on.  You didn’t complain, or run and hide, or mistreat people around you.  You went HARDER AT what you needed to do EVERY DAY because that is what tough times demand of people like you.  You’re a leader! You also want to be proud of how you improved yourself during this time, how you advanced toward your goals DESPITE the environment turning bad.  Y
