It is a fact, many of us are in some sort of quarantine or isolation at the moment. Luckily, most of us do so because we want to remain healthy, and to protect the people around us, and hopefully, stop the coronavirus from spreading. This might be forced upon us, or we might stay at home out of a free will, but in such days, it is incredibly important to stay focused and to have a vision and goals!
Check this quote from Helen Keller
“The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision.”
I know people who used most of their time traveling around Europe to do concerts and events. It was interesting to speak to them. Some of them complained that they never had time to read, while others said they had never had more time to read, after all, what better activity to do while traveling than reading?
It is all a matter of perspective! So, what do you see right now? Have you set goals for your coronavirus quarantine? I can already see lots of people on both Hive and Steem who are blogging more regularly than before, simply because they suddenly have the time and opportunity to do so!
Blogging and publishing here is a great thing to do, and I believe it can be a nice thing to prioritize in this period. But there are so many other goals you can set for your life as well right now.
Some thoughts that have crossed my mind when it comes to goals for my own quarantine.
- Daily exercising on my training machine.
- Read that book on art history that I have never touched.
- Write more blog posts!
- Help my older neighbors who needs to keep the quarantine even more strict than me!
- Have awesome quality time with my family at home!
These are just some examples! I have so many ideas, but with kids at home, you don't really have time to do all the things that you want to do. They do know how to keep you busy.
But, sit down and spend a few minutes to make some goals. What do you want to achieve while in lockdown? I believe it will have an awesome impact on your life in the coming months.
We don't know for how long this will last!
Mark my words here... we don't know for how long this will last. That is why it is even more important to have goals and vision. You might end up being in quarantine for several months, and it will be so painful to come to an end of the period noticing that you didn't do anything useful in the period! Get started right away, have a vision, get some goals, and get going.
Maybe you will one day look back at this period and call it the most fruitful and life-changing event of your life! This is the time when you finally got to develop skills you have been dreaming of for a long time. This is the time when you learned how to make all that food that you have been dreaming of making. This is the time when you finally got to create that website you have been wanting to make.
Or maybe this is the time when you finally get to call some old friends and loved ones that you have neglected and forgotten about for so long?
This is a time of great opportunity! Spend it wisely!
