What's your plan? This is the question of the day. For Mayors and Governors, wanting to open up their cities and states to more economic activity. For businesses large and small wanting to avoid further loss of income and business. It is the question for sports and recreation to answer for healthy activity. It is also a question for all of us.
All of us will have to decide when and how, and how much we venture out of our houses, into the neighborhoods and businesses around us. We need to decide what is important for us, what we need to do again, how much risk is acceptable, and what we really want to do.
And beyond that, we need to spend some of this quarantine time thinking of where we want to be beyond the challenge of coming out of quarantine.We need to ponder what this time has taught us about what really is important and spend more of our time doing those things, pursuing those goals instead of just working to get by.
When freed from the visible restrictions think about the invisible restrictions that hold us back.
The expectations of others, the doubts, the messages of youth about what we should or shouldn't do.
And plan to tackle those barriers. Just like we need a plan to come back out of isolation we need a plan to not just get back to what was before, but to go beyond that to a better, more fulfilled us.
Don't wait around for others to plan, make sure you have a plan to go out and beyond. So....what's your plan?
