Live in This Moment:
In moments of crisis, we need to stay present to those around us. Spending time in the past wishing for what once was does not assist us well. Our colleagues, friends, and families need us to respond to needs now. We need to be rested, helpful, upbeat, and encouraging. When we live in the moment, we can enjoy a sunrise or sunset. A walk can give us peace for the moment. A smile can relieve the stress of a colleague or family member. A heartfelt call can sooth someone’s fear. We can be kind only is this moment. The past is completed, and the future is not yet. Live each moment.
Lesson to Learn:
Being truly present in this moment is what so many need from us during times of crisis. Sometimes it is all we can offer.

Action:
Make the most of each moment, especially when I am with others.
Daily Habit:
Prepare for encounters with others. Make sure I am kind and express my gratitude for their presence and their efforts. Recall each day these fruitful encounters and be thankful for them.
