Dealing with the awful.

There are three ways to deal with the awful, with pain, difficulty and struggle.

1. In the 'this too shall pass' stoic way.
2. In the Netflix and chill, make yourself as comfortable as a possible, epicurean way.
3. or the transformative way, the death and resurrection, butterfly from a caterpillar, way.

When you look back over the last few months of lockdowns, pandemics, and masks which way did you react?

Which way do you want to react next time it hits?

Get skin in the game, transform.
