The summer is gone, the crops are under snow and we are stuck at home, no way to get out after a major blizzard.
There are many stories about preparing to the bad times while we are in the good ones.
Personally, I heard fewer stories of those who, during bad times, in spite of getting desperate, or even hibernating, and waiting for the good times to come again, spent that time preparing to speed up the come back.
Independently if there is a crisis or not, record every good idea you have, even if you don’t have time to put it in place due to all the daily activities, these would be our “standby bank”.
We know that everything will change even if we are part of the cause, or the consequence. When we are part of the cause, and we are driving change, the main effort is to face the inertia of the “status quo”.
What if this force gets into standby, and we are part of the consequence of a change?
This is the time for us to pick every idea we had in our “standby bank”, or even in those changes we were suffering to put in place in the good times, and use them as a contingency plan.
Then, the effect of our changes will become stronger, and when the blizzard is gone, and the sun is shining, we will feel like we are up to speed quicker, but in the the end, we didn’t even stop.
