?? F*ck it...What do you have to lose?

?? F*ck it.

These are the words ringing through my mind now...

"What do you have to lose?"

The world is changing at a speed that would have been impossible to predict.

Our paths forward are unchartered, unknown and there is no magic eight ball to predict who gets sick, who survives… What the heck the world will even look like when we FINALLY crack open the doors to walk outside.

Take a moment and ask yourself this…

? Who in your life have you disconnected from that you would REGRET never speaking to again?

I want you to seriously think about this.

There’s always a person or incident that we tuck in the back pockets of our mind to “deal” with and digest how we feel about LATER. Sometimes…out of self-preservation, we shift our focus from one of pain, loss, sadness to the everyday drumming of life. It’s how most of us compartmentalize suffering and emotions.

? But now…YOU have a mission and purpose to help others.

Now... more than ever… fill the hearts of those you treasure and adore with hope, love and memories to hold onto to so when the world FINALLY STANDS BACK UP TO breathe a sigh of relief, YOU were already there to resuscitate the ones that needed that extra breathe.

? CALL YOUR DAMN PARENTS and recap a story of your childhood that you treasure. Take that moment to reflect and laugh at the times they loved, protected you. Drop all the negativity, drama. Release it... they did their best with the knowledge/resources they had.

? TELL YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER/HUSBAND/WIFE how damn amazing they are doing right now!! Raising AND homeschooling kids even though this was never the plan. How much you appreciate their strength, patience. You have no idea how much they need to hear this now.

? PICK UP THE DANG PHONE AND CALL THE EX OR FRIEND you are in love with but, can’t summon up the courage to call because you fear they have moved on, don’t feel the same. Who cares if they don’t feel the same? Perhaps, you just get to rekindle memories and connect with someone that made your heart smile and that alone has beauty in it.

? DIAL THE SIBLING/RELATIVE that always drives you batty and can’t agree with but, you know is not as strong as you (perhaps are younger and lost). They NEED you too. Share a memory where THEY were there for you so they know how important they are and how much they mean to you.

? CALL THE FRIEND that was your ride or die that you disconnected from (due to something trivial like a bruise to your ego). Just say “I never forgot our friendship; you are one of the most amazing people I have met.” Fill their heart with the love that was truly never was lost.

? CONNECT WITH THE TEACHER, COACH OR NEIGHBOR that used to make you smile every day and somehow now is lost in your newsfeed to “friends” you never met. Let them know how much their small gestures meant to you.

=======================

Your purpose in life is NOT just the job you are clocking into everyday; it’s the lives of others that you elevate. We will never truly know how those we care about are dealing with the panic, trauma and uncertainty circling around us.

Your love, gratitude and time is critical right now.

We are all in a state of pause… F*CK whatever is holding you back. It’s time to shout out to the world that you are ready to release all pain and surrender with love.

Very nicely put Lisa. A recommendation, as a professional you should leave out the curse word.
