What’s normal anyway? COVID wasn’t normal. Neither was the 2008 financial crash. Or 9/11. Or the dot-com bubble. Or the Cold War.
Normal is just the story we tell ourselves about the time between disruptions.
We’re always living through something. And how we respond matters more than what we’re responding to.
Crazy times don’t demand crazy reactions. They ask for intentional ones.
Nature walks reset your nervous system. Fiction builds empathy. Sport creates community. Puppies remind us of joy.
The real danger isn’t the chaos around us. It’s the numbness that comes from simply absorbing it all without action.
The next disruption is coming. Meanwhile, today is here.
What will you do with it?
