You don’t need to figure it all out - just this moment: Sometimes it feels like we need to know all the answers right now. Especially us leaders and those responsible for others, we often believe we must know what to do and how it will all turn out. During a crisis, this is just not possible. The situation will change, and new decisions will be necessary. It is important to figure out each moment. Living in the moment and making the best decisions possible right now is all that is asked of any of us. If we can figure out the best actions in the moment, then over the days and weeks ahead the cumulative effect of our best actions will be what is needed. If we can live out our best moments, the future will be brighter and we will navigate through this crisis.
Lesson to Learn: I need to only live the best moment I can right now. Doing so will provide for the best outcome during a crisis.
Answer for Me: I need to prepare and deliver the best me in each moment. With an eye toward the future, I want to give others the best me I can right now.
Action: Be intentional about being the best me in this moment. When I fall short, I will apologize and learn from my actions. I will move forward with an intent of being my best self in this moment and I will leave the future to the accumulation of my best moments.
Daily Habit: Prepare each day so I am the best me in the moments ahead. Rest, exercise, pause and reflect, review my mission statement, and plan my day. Execute and adjust my plan as the day unfolds. Wind down and reflect after each day. Repeat each day during the crisis.
