Let’s Make Kindness and Hope Contagious

I want to say thank you to all the people who walked into my life and made it outstanding, and all the people who walked out of my life and made it fantastic.

Today it is difficult to do anything anonymously when  humanity all over the world, the entire planet, is reeling in inconspicuousness as we are required to be kept separate from each other to avoid more deaths in a pandemic of  gargantuan proportions.

Mike Dooley of tut.com put gave meaning to it this way:

“”

“My point is, for the first time in a while people can look out for one another—and guess what, they are! It’s a shame that it had to get to this point, but nevertheless we’re finally doing it. What if this is society’s wake-up call, our chance to become better as a global community?

Maybe all this insanity could make us saner. Companies might see that work can be done remotely, so parents can spend time watching their kids grow. Perhaps our fragile healthcare system will break but be rebuilt with better processes, that in turn, lead to a healthier future. Or maybe it will just become more acceptable to wear sweatpants in public. Wouldn’t that be great?

Regardless, we owe it to ourselves to control our thoughts in this “new normal.” Anxiety and fear are normal, allow yourself to feel them, but also allow yourself to use them. Whether we stand six feet apart or we’re quarantined in our homes, our actions, our energies, and our intentions still ripple outward and touch others. You have a chance to be someone else’s beacon.

Maybe idealism is just my coping mechanism, but just like the virus, I believe that hope can also be contagious. Imagine if we all tried to learn from this situation instead of trying to live in constant fear?”

 Let’s make HOPE and KINDNESS contagious. We may not see the outcome quickly so patience is the name of the game.
