COVID-19 – A WORLD WIDE RESET

The onset of COVID 19 has affected every aspect of our lives.   We are currently living in a world that has changed in so many ways.   What we took for granted now becomes a challenge.   It has forced everyone to RETHINK most of our actions and activities.  I have observed so many different reactions.  Where it has been horrible for some it has been an opportunity for others. 

The basis of the LIMITLESSLIFESTYLE is to examine what is happening in your life and determine YOUR COURSE OF ACTION.   Even when you believe you have no control, you may be able to take actions to improve a situation.

It is certain that the sickness and death caused by COVID is horrible.   There has been so much sadness associated with the number of people affected.  The number of businesses that have crumbled and the people that depended on income during this time have suffered so much.    Yet though it all, we have seen BEAMS OF LIGHT AND HOPE.

I am so proud of how the Canadian and USA medical community has done so much to help people.  These individuals have dedicated their time to help others.   They have gone without sleep and contact with their families so they can do their part to try and improve the situation.  I also find that the police, military and fire departments have stepped up to help people in need.   While we don’t always agree with the actions taken by some of the police and military, I saw examples where they put their lives at risk by helping others.  None of these people have an easy job.

One of the most outstanding things I observed were individuals creating something good during this challenging time.   This ranged from the people who made us laugh on You Tube or thought personal emails sent to friends and family, to those who educated themselves or other family members, or created some type of invention.  These individuals showed us how they made this time matter.

COVID quarantine’s created a rare opportunity for the “family unit” to connect.   We have been forced to stay within immediate family or friends.  Being limitless is about making the most of a good or bad situation.   Anyone who has become closer to their family, learned a new skill or helped others, should be very proud.     All these restrictions don’t mean that you cannot still develop or work toward your goals.    We just have to be creative.

THE 7 STEP PROCESS TO BE LIMITLESS

  1. SELF EXAMINATION
  2. DETERMINE GOALS
  3. SETTING OUT A PLAN
  4. COMMUNICATION
  5. CHALLENGE EVERYTHING
  6. DETERMINE PITFALLS
  7. REALITY CHECK

JUST THE 1ST STEP;

SELF EXAMINATION is a challenging process to complete.  In essence the process requires that each person question everything about their lives.  The focus should be on the things that are causing the most unhappiness. 

The entire process requires being totally honest with yourself.  You have to ask yourself what actually makes you happy.  Making a list helps but is not a requirement.  There has been a series of choices that have brought you to this point in your life.  Challenging your principles, morals, ethics, ideas and relationships, requires that you ask yourself hard questions.  The intent is to find answers and initiate change.   

Aspects of this process can be restricted by what your family or friends think.  Attempt to explain to your friends and family what you are trying to do.  Remember, this stage is strictly your thoughts without any input from others.  As stated before, those close to you will not only understand but help keep you on track should you lose your way.

DETERMINING GOALS will be based on what makes you happy.  Again, a list is a handy tool but not a requirement.  There is no limit to the number of goals you create.  Remember to think big and in the long term of your life.  Your goals can be determined simply by listing the things that make you unhappy and want to change.  Taking the reverse approach will identify aspects of your life you want to change.  If completed, these aspects will  give you a starting point toward finding happiness.  The other approach is to think about things that make you smile to yourself or give you a feeling of satisfaction.  Once the goal is established, you can complete sub-goals that will move you toward your overall goal. 

SETTING OUT A PLAN.  Let us look at the goal of climbing Mount Everest which will represent a major long term goal.    A person who establishes this goal must review or question everything they are doing.   Nothing may change, if they complain about being out of shape but spend the day watching television.   Every action you take causes a reaction.  This is basic physics. 

As an example; Climbing Mount Everest requires a number of actions.  You may need to get in shape, save the money (as it costs between $40,000.00 to $50,000.00) and get the time off work or away from the family.  There can be other aspects to making this goal come true.  However, the above are three examples of what may need to happen to achieve the main goal.  Therefore, the mini-goals might be;

  1. Get in better physical shape,
  2. Save or obtain the funding,
  3. Plan for time off work,
  4. Notify your family of the plan.

If the same person establishes a plan to start walking, running or cycling, there will be a change in their physical condition.  In this example, the process does not expect or recommend climbing a mountain right away.    In most cases, people will have to work toward or ease into their goal.  Whatever steps are taken will result in some degree of change.   

It is important to get out in the world with family and friends to experience life. 

Play, laugh, joke, dream, dance etc. Stop being so serious and have some fun.  

We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.  

Whatever your age, there should be nothing stopping you from discovering yourself and the world around you.  Life should be an experience.
