Crisis
Is it a threat or an opportunity?
In the first instance, you most likely would view it as a threat. And why shouldn’t you? The word has a negative connotation to it. But pause for a second, and look at the other side of the coin.
What is your belief about a crisis?
Because your belief determines your truth. Everybody is right at least in his or her thought and fear system. You see the world always through your eyes, your mind, which is a unique inner perceiver and interpreter of the outside world.
In my belief, a crisis is always a kind of wake-up call, an invitation, and an accelerator for a shift, which is meant to happen — change fast in order to succeed soon.
A crisis is a wake-up call for a change or a shift that has to happen. And you know what CHANGE is our price for survival. In our history as mankind, we could adapt to fit into the constantly changing environment. Resisting change in most cases led to a collapse. Change means finding new and better ways, seeing a positive future, although the circumstances try to tell you a different story. It needs a lot of courage, faith, and mainly trust.
Imagine every crisis is a friend in disguise, knocking on your door, to tell you that he has a better plan for you. Will you open the door and let him in?
Change is never easy and we still suffer a lot because of our evolutionary heritage — a kind of “evolutionary hangover”. My advice, especially in those times is:
“Do not believe everything you think!”
Your brain cannot differentiate between a thought and reality — in a certain sense both of these result in the release of neurotransmitters.
With the ongoing crisis -
● What if the earth is preparing you for whatever you have asked for?
● What if the earth gives you a break to make sure you use your life wisely enough.
The virus itself underestimates death and overestimates life. But what do you do instead? Most of you wait until the crisis passes, in order to live again. But while you wait, life passes behind. Let us learn to use the precious reason to be isolated and dive into the inner self.
Ask yourself:
- How does the crisis affect you?
- What is your biggest fear?
- What do you have to do for it?
Let the crisis help you realize your potential — strengths, and weaknesses — and how will you overcome it all.
