On the blackout of '03 and your future

​Can you find purpose through chaos?  How many situations have we experienced as a society that had brilliance come out the other side? Read on...

So many are going through the experiences of anxiety, fear and even depression.  I've seen clients of mine go through these emotional changes and wonder what will be the state of the world. So how do you get out of it and come out better than you were before?

First, let's put the stake in the ground and say you can absolutely turn pain into passion if you choose.  It's just a matter of seeing the flipside of a situation.  When you're in the eye of the storm its hard to see, I totally get it.  But think about any situation you or we as a society have experienced and the positive elements that have come out of them.  ​
I remember the blackout of 2003 in NYC when I was in the middle of my work day in a hot August afternoon.  The lights flickered while I was in the ladies room and suddenly pitch black.  Once I figured out what was happening I prepared myself for the trek home, about 180 blocks north of my office.  
​
Interestingly, I don't remember the heat, the long walk, or the crowds as much as I remember finally getting in touch with my mother who was able to pick me up about 50 blocks up.  And the gesture of solidarity and empathy as we picked up people who needed a ride up on the way.  ​
Picture
We endured about 30 hours without electricity, many people died but outside of the initial chaos, New Yorkers turned the blackout into a moment of urban solidarity.  People started to direct traffic since traffic lights were out; they helped each other out of trapped subway cars; welcomed in stranded colleagues who couldn't get home; restaurants held impromptu cookouts, sharing their food and beer with neighbors. It was an amazing site!

It's a small version of the chaos happening now but if there's one thing I know for sure is that these situations show people's underlying MO's.  We are social animals who at the end of the day want to connect and help.  No matter what the situation.  Even now people are zooming, facetiming, delivering food, creating and giving face masks to areas in need, and connecting in so many different ways while offering help and maintaining relationships.  Wifi, the internet and electricity in general have been a blessing... seriously!

So when asked is using your talent, skills and strengths to serve and contribute to humanity inappropriate or is it even right to pursue your purpose right now?  The answer is of course it is!  People need you now more than ever!

For those blessed to be healthy, which is the large majority, this pandemic, can be used as a great catalyst to catapult you to major growth while you’re staying at home or working at home.  It's a rare opportunity to know yourself better, learn the strengths and skills you have, and what motivates and feeds your soul.  Stillness and social distancing can truly spark a deep soul searching for many.

In the words of Tank from the Matrix "This is a very exciting time! We've got a lot of work to do. Let's get to it."
Here are a few people doing just that:
  • Brain and Memory Coach Jim Kwik - How to become limitless
  • Strengths Coach Marcus Buckingham - The gift of StandOut - free assessment and chat on IG Live April 17
  • Business School Coach Marie Forleo - On 5 ways to both sell and serve with heart during this global crisis
  • Product Launch Coach Jeff Walker - What happens when the world stays home
And then there's you...

Are you inspired and ready to do more than watch life unfold?  I'd like to offer you an opportunity to work with me.  Your purpose can help someone else's life.  Contribution to others is the key ingredient when it comes to purpose because you're being of service to others which always comes back to help you.  That said here's how:
