You don’t know how fast you’re going until you hit a dead stop. You’re going a mile a minute, providing for your family, going to the grocery store and finding time to work out with our virtual community. And then boom. Everything is cancelled. That’s what happened last week when it seems like all of America shut down at once due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

How many of you, prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, said, “I wish I could just get 10 minutes” or “I wish I had more time”.

There’s a line in The Office: “I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.” You may not look back on this time as “the good ol’ days”, but there are blessings all around you right now.

You’ve got more time to get to know your children. You’ve got more time to slow down and have mealtime. You’ve got more time to work out and be healthy as a family.

We’ve written at length about how to manage your day and create a routine with your children. This type of planning helps you focus on the day at hand and forget about the unknown.

But there are other sources of inspiration like this guy.

The takeaway: You’re fine. You are strong. You are witnessing the power of God and the power of people coming together to help each other.

1.      Major sports figures and celebrities are using their wealth to help others.

2.      The government is passing new measures for sick and paid leave for families.

3.      Stores and shops around the globe are setting aside “elderly hours” to prioritize the most vulnerable people.

4.      This woman  went out of her way to help an elderly couple shop because they were too afraid of contracting the virus at their age.

5.      The cruise industry, one of the hardest hit, is trying to turn a negative into a positive.

6.      Many of our FASTer Way community has shared they are diving even deeper into their fitness goals, boosting their mood with exercise and positivity.

We have no doubt, this will be a time remembered for how the world changed for the better. We adapt fast and face our challenges head on without excuse or resistance. Leaders never waste a time to lead and our children will have a brighter future because of the things we do today. Don’t forget, you’re not alone!
