Be a Learner

5 lessons I have learned through the CORONAVIRUS pandemic :

CHANGE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, FAST AND STRONG :
Our world can change at any time. Very quickly, through this pandemic, we had to change our habits, wear masks, stop going to school or work, work from home, follow social distancing rules, learn new technology tools like ZOOM,…and the list keeps going. Understanding that our world is changing
constantly is key to be successful. Our world will continue to change, faster and faster. Embrace it.Adjust, adapt constantly.

HEALTH CANNOT BE NEGLECTED :
Unfortunately, this pandemic has hurt many people. Many have been sick, many have been hospitalized and many have died. The ones with the weakest health have been the ones the most impacted.
Whatever we can do to protect and develop a good health needs to be a priority. We all forget how blessed we are to have a good health, until we become sick. Working on our health every day through good habits (eating veggies, drinking water, working out, meditating,…) is a duty we all have. Treat your body as a temple.

FACE THE DIFFICULTIES AS A TEAM :
There has been a lot of debates about the effectiveness of wearing a mask. I am not a health specialist, I will not make any comment about this. But if there is at least one reason, why I wear a mask every day,
it is to send a message. This message is : “I care about you. I don’t want you to be sick. You, my neighbor, my friend, my family member, or a complete stranger. You are a beautiful being. God has put you in this world. I will do my part in protecting you. I love you. I will wear a mask with the intention of not spreading a virus that may be in my body”. That’s my message when I wear a mask. And I know that if all of us act as a loving team, a loving community, caring for each other health, we will get out of this
pandemic faster. It is not about what I get. It is about what I give. I want to give my love to others so that together we can get better. Giving is better than Getting. Be generous.

EVERYONE IS GOING TO REACT DIFFERENTLY IN FRONT OF A SITUATION :
We are all different. And when something happens, we will all react in different ways. And that’s ok !
During this pandemic, some were very scared, some were very aggressive, some were judgmental of others, some minimized or ignored the danger, some blamed others,…The truth is that none of us has all
the answers in front of such a situation, none of us has had the best behavior all the time,…No need to judge others. I need to remember every day : I have a lot to work on me, before I start judging others.
Be patient, be open, be forgiving. You are not better than anyone. And actually by taking the time to listen to a different opinion, you have the opportunity to learn, to grow, to mature,…

MY REVENUE CAN CHANGE AT ANY TIME IN A DRAMATIC FASHION :
One big advice that famous financial gurus keep repeating all the time : “Develop several sources of financial income”. And there is a reason for that : at any time, a crisis can come. And some of your financial sources can decrease significantly and rapidly, even disappear. You will be able to still be ok and grow financially if you have alternate revenues. Don’t rely on only 1 source of income. Don’t rely on just 1 job. Invest in the stock market, invest in the real estate, have a side hustle, write a book, sell stuff on line,…There are plenty of possibilities. Being financially responsible means having back up plans in place. Being financially free goes with having several sources of income. Work on it. A little bit at a time. Invest your
time, money, energy in other sources of income than just your “9 to 5”. And one day, you will be financially free.

We can learn from all experiences : the good ones and the bad ones. There is place for growth all the time and everywhere. Keep growing !
