The Sun Shines in Turbulent Times
Earlier this year, in 2020 PC (Pre-COVID) I traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina in celebration of reaching the Half Century of Life milestone. Yeah, 50 is kind of a big deal.
When I booked my trip, I opted for the “scenic route” (code for the cheapest flight that I could find) connecting in Costa Rica and Panama. This made for quite a long trip.
In reflecting on this trip and in light of our current COVID reality, I realized something about not only these flights but many flights I’ve taken and how it relates to what has become a “COVID Call to Action.” It goes something like this...
“This is your Captain speaking (following a long inaudible pause). It looks like this turbulence will be with us for a while so we will be increasing our altitude to get a smoother ride. Sit back and enjoy the rest of the flight. Thank you.”
There is no question our world is in the midst of some turbulence. Many would say that we are facing the most turbulent time in human history.
How are you dealing with the gravity of the situation and the impact it’s likely having on your personal and professional life?
How are you navigating through this turbulence and uncertainty?
A few things are certain…
- This is a defining time in human history. A time when we are called to be more loving, kind, compassionate, humble, graceful, forgiving, empathetic, intuitive, flexible, patient and understanding
- Those with the courage to rise above the turbulence will navigate better
- COVID will eventually pass - what will you do when it does?
There are a number of immediate and practical ways that you can rise above the turbulence of your situation for your practice, today...
- Find a mentor or a coach to talk you through your situation - Champions love coaches!
- Re-evaluate your clear aligner workflow (or implement one)! All specialties are welcome!
- Don’t make the mistake of not marketing during this time!
My challenge to you is this; Have courage in the face of turbulence and rise above the clouds to a higher altitude! Take action and reach out and schedule a time to chat! https://calendly.com/clearglobal/15-min-chat
