What habits do you know you would stick to no matter what?
Developing habits takes time and dedication, and yet once the habit becomes such, it’s the most solid thing to fall back upon in times of need.
It is worth the effort.

No shortcut
Once you have mastered the first ten numbers – from 0 to 9 – and understood the system that gets you to 19, it is quite easy to figure out how to count to 100, 1,000, 1,000,000.
This is true for many things. You need to put in the work in the beginning to learn the basics and understand the system, then things will get gradually easier as you do more of the same.
If you keep skipping the 7 when you count 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, all you can do is repeat until you get it right.
There is no shortcut.
Finite
At any one point in time there’s an infinite number of possibilities around you. The number of possibilities to do good is infinite as well.
Sounds like a positive thing, and it is, but if you keep moving from one possibility to the next, if you are overwhelmed by their numbers, if you lose focus distracted by the closest or fanciest one over and over again, that is equivalent to not having any possibility at all.
The understanding that you are finite and can only commit to a limited number of things in the course of your lifetime is needed to make an impact.
Distance
This global crisis is taking lives, jobs, safety, certainty, and will continue to do so for months to come. The impact of it is unimaginable to all.
Yet, at some point it will end. And if you are brave enough to distance yourself from it today, you’ll get the chance to be ready for when that will happen.
Create
Now is an excellent moment to start that blog you always wanted to start, to write that book you always wanted to write, to launch that podcast you always wanted to launch, to become the video maker you always wanted to be.
There’s hardship around us, and it takes courage to think forward.
If you can do that, if you can unplug from the constant flow of information, if you can carve a safe space in your day to do the work, if you can be humble enough to reach out to the people you need and ask for help, you will be rewarded.
Great content was important yesterday, is important today, will be important tomorrow.
