Our climate across the world has changed at a rapid rate these last few weeks, where we see COVID-19 infiltrating our countries, our people, our health care systems, our economy and our wellbeing. With so much uncertainty and angst, one thing remains clear, we are stronger together. If we band together and do the right thing, we will get through this. We have to.

Instead of allowing the nature of what is happening overwhelm us and consume our every waking moment, let’s consciously choose to turn it around. Let’s make choices every day to think differently in order to keep going. Yes, it is going to be hard. We are going to have times when we feel completely alone, but we are not. We are SURROUNDED.

So as we stare the next few weeks, months, who knows in the face, lets choose to live purposefully. Let’s choose to not let this beat us. Let’s choose to go it together.

I choose…..

I choose to not be beaten

I choose to be strong

I choose to belong

I choose to be present

I choose to be kind

I choose to be generous

I choose to set goals

I choose to not be idle

I choose to learn more

I choose to sing songs

I choose to dance free

I choose to dream

I choose to connect

I choose to create

I choose to inspire

I choose to rest

I choose to reflect

I choose to plan

I choose to pray

I choose to give

I choose to be thankful

I choose to live
