covid-19 entrepreneurship gratitude pandemic blessings personal development resilience self-care self-reflection success journey work from home Mar 10, 2024

During the famous COVID-19 introduced to the world as a GLOBAL Pandemic in March of 2020, many people discovered many things. One of which was their ability or “inability” to work from home.

I was one of trillions in the world who was “privileged” to work from the comfort of my own home.

I say this with trepidation as I know there were many out there who were suddenly laid off, or unexpectedly unemployed.

This is not to minimize the huge impact to those of you who may have suffered, this is to highlight what I gained from this global event.

I gained insight about my own work ethic.

I realized that through the process of having to find a way to work from home that I, in fact, have a strong work ethic.

I also unknowingly realized that I determined that I am quite hard on myself. I am hard on myself when I feel that my work does not immediately reap the results that I seek.

I force myself to work harder when I do not receive the results that I want.

Where a lot of people might look at their circumstances and take on the role as the victim of a global pandemic, I took the complete opposite approach, and realized that I am in total control of my own life.

I realized that I love my life as an entrepreneur, as a wife, as a daughter, and as a mother of a “fur baby”.

I chose to take this opportunity to upgrade my personal development, and to study myself as an entrepreneur.

I left my job 2 years BEFORE this pandemic reared its ugly head into my world.

And I took this ugly head, and adapted to it, and somehow saw it as a blessing.

This blessing allowed me to have grace with my journey to my version of success.

This blessing has allowed me to be grateful for my health and the health of those that I love the most.

This blessing has allowed me to get to really know the person I love the most….me.

I need to love and care for myself first before I can help others. It’s a struggle everyday to think of myself first, but that journey evolves every day, with or without, the pandemic.
