Life is Overboard with 'Covid' ~ Sink? - or Swim?

Life is Overboard with 'Covid'... and we're all just wading.

So, in these times... "What Really Matters" ?

These days....
 "(Fill in the blank) Matters" - is all we hear.
> From the Left - from the right.
> From the Dems - from the Reps.
> This race - that race... 

"Seems to be one big 'dis-grace' most of the time".

No matter what your point of view on any of this, 
I think we can all agree that since 'Cv19' was sent 
to attack our world as we know it, 
everything in life has become a hot topic 
and much of the simplest things in life has become a big hassle. 
Super Stressful !

But let me stop a minute and ask you this:

"What does all this ultimately mean to you?"
"What is it that really matters?"
"What matters most in your life?"

Of course I can't actually hear your answer, 
but if it's even close to the answers I've collected 
from all those I've communicated with recently, 
I will bet your answers would include:

* Your personal safety - for yourself and your family
* Financial security for your self and your family
* A future for yourself and your family
_ Am I right?
It can be very stressful.
Most people I talk to say that the worst issue they are having 
is "Stress" over all the 'unknowns'... 
and I could not possibly agree more!

Listen, if it's any comfort - we are all suffering in this 
major power shift and struggle. 
It's was keeping me up all night.
It was tearing my entire life to literal bits !!

But, I recently had a very interesting conversation 
with my old friend.

* He's super stressed out as he's got a 'Roofing Company 
in Arizona', covering his nearly $20,000 in (monthly) costs 
of doing business - him and his employees. 
* He also has children and a home to support 
from his previous marriage.. as well as his current life 
with his fiance and doing direct care for his ailing, 
85 year old father in his own home to support. 
* He also is trying to keep his business afloat under new 
rules of business in this Covid catastrope - 

That is a lot for one person to have on their plate!
And I'm happy that it's not my plate - LOL

Some of you may relate to that level or responsibility 
- some may not. We all have our own ~

But what you can relate to is that no matter who you are 
and no matter what your do for a living ... 
it's getting very hard to avoid the negativity emotions 
and a hopeless future forecast.

Well, bless your hearts ~ I understand.
The thing is... What is taking YOUR energy in this mess?
There is only one you with only a certain amount of energy
that you can direct.
Only YOU can decide... "where are you going to direct that 
limited amount of energy that you are in charge of". 

Oh yes! "It's YOUR energy in limited supply" and 
it's up to YOU how it's utilized. 

So, what do you say?
Redirect or you can 'Sit' and throw in the towel?!
There are really only those 2 choices for how you 
handle this whole mess we're in ~~~~~ 

Either way there will be challenges. 
But which way keeps you above water?
It's time now to 'Think or Sink with the tide'. 
Wave after wave keeps knocking you down?

Try the breast stroke or a side stoke... 
Just floating on your back might be less of a struggle - 
but it will get you nowhere... 
- and YOU know it !

I get it - Listen, if you need some help or any direction, 
let me know.
I'd be happy to find out where you are at and how I might be 
able to help direct your energies into a new way of life / income. 
I've been helping people all my life - so I'm ready for it! :)

Let's get busy at surviving now! ~ See you on shore!! :)
