Can you believe that at the beginning of the year our world seemed completely normal!
We were literally expecting to this new decade to be the best decade ever with all of our exciting goals, plans and dreams.
We as a global world had so much freedom
We could pretty much could go anywhere we wanted whenever we wanted from food shopping to coffee shops.
I know that not everyone has complete freedom like this as everyone has setbacks in one way or another, but life seemed so different.
I’m sure that none of us knew that a major pandemic was just about to dramatically affect our world in such a way that that our countries would literally be on lockdown not just for 2 or 3 days but instead for weeks.
One of the things that I’ve always loved doing as an entrepreneur that mainly works at home) is to go out and do fun things like go food shopping, work at coffee shops, look at the stores, buy stationery (as I totally love stationery from journals to cute pens), It’s one thing to work from home when you can pop out and go to your Co-working space or when you can go and get your nails done but when you have to completely stay in with no fun days out that really can take its toll on anyone and may entrepreneurial seem not so fun anymore.
Maybe you work in a corporate setting, working 9-5 and now you at home with your husband and 3 kids wondering why you have now all of a sudden become a full time Teacher, a Cook and a Remote worker (overnight). I’m sure you just can’t wait to get back to your normal life so that you can have your space and routine again.
We may not be able to change what’s currently happening in the world but one thing that we can change is our attitude and how we show up.
Let me ask you this question:
ARE YOU SHINING IN THE MIST OF TRIALS OR ARE YOU DIMING YOUR SHINE?
Always ask yourself this question daily as it’s so important that you keep going! That you keep shining your light from the roof tops.
Jesus said ‘Let your light shine for all men to see’.
Because it actually glorifies God.
When your light shines it literally changes people’s lives and fills them with hope and inspiration.
If you feel numb sometimes and like you just don’t even know what day it is, that’s totally normal!
If you need some encouragement and a good boost I’ve got you covered:
Here are some ideas of what you can do to shine and stand out as a pillar of hope in this s quarantine season where you may be tempted to tone it down and hide:
