The Great Realization.


June 10, 2020
Some are calling it the Great Cessation. Others the Great Pause. But, below is a lovely brief video bedtime story dedicated to a future better than our past. Maybe it’s time to create our own parable during this time of paralysis?

Whether we’re faced with an economic recovery based upon the shape of a U, V, or W, let’s explore X, Y, and Z.

X: How do you Exit this pandemic?
Y: Why will you be forever changed?
Z: How do you recapture your Zest for life?

Now, with today’s video as a role model, how could you write your own “Once Upon a Time” fairy tale that defines your first half of 2020? This practice will give you more latitude in imagining the gift of your journey and how you’ll bestow those gifts to others in the future.

What’s your hero’s journey?
