I was talking to my friend a moment ago, and he was afraid of the outcomes of the last pandemics.
At this moment, I realized that these global events, with huge impact everywhere were not my priority right now.
It doesn’t mean I don’t care, actually I do, because it is changing most of what is going to happen to me in the shorter term.
In the last two years, I opted to make a greater change in my personal life, without even knowing about the outcomes of it in the longer term.
Big changes doesn’t mean quick changes, it takes some time and a lot of preparation to digest so many new things. So, in spite of looking of every change on the long term, and freezing due to the incapacity of solving all of them because there are events that does not depend on you, I opted to look at the smaller goals in the next step.
The way I define the next step is that action I can take alone, without depending on others.
My family and I depend on so many factors that whichever decision or move we make right now towards our goal is just another lucky guess. The current situation doesn’t change that, it is just another factor to be aware of.
We need to finish the current step to look ahead with some perspective. There are several paths to take, and we are studying them from far, just like the options that are given to us by Google Maps when we need to go a different city to visit, and we need to define if we want to go by bus, car or train, if we want to go by the toll route, or we are fine getting some traffic, or even if it worths going.
The long path ahead will require many adjustments in our directions. Being able to look to the sides, and see the surroundings is mandatory in this case, and for that we are walking with a short stride.
