Right now, what do we need most to cope with this situation?
This global enemy is consuming us all—if not by directly affecting our health, then by infiltrating our minds with fear and uncertainty.
Many of you are working from home, studying from home, and in some places, even grocery shopping from home. The news delivers daily updates—or should I say, a daily mental dose. Staying informed isn’t wrong, but the aftereffects of constant exposure are concerning. Limit your news intake. Yes, it tells you how fast the crisis is spreading, its economic impact, and supply shortages. But in the end, it also gives precautions—measures to balance the fear it instills.
And when we're not watching the news, what do we discuss? Cleaning our homes? Stockpiling food? How often do we talk about motivation? About hope?
So, I ask again—what do we need most right now? What should we do? What role should each of us play?
The answer is simple. We need leaders in every household—not just to ensure cleanliness and order, but to inspire hope in these dark times. We all need hope.
"The true test of leadership is how well you function in a crisis." —Brian Tracy
For instance, if someone is struggling to focus while working from home, encourage them to take short breaks. Remind them they are doing enough. Many have lost their jobs—if you still have work, be grateful. Cherish what you have right now. Be thankful for your health, your family, your friends, and your loved ones.
If you're taking precautions, why let worry consume you? Instead, focus on what you can control:
Meditate.
Rest and relax.
Most importantly, pray.
Stay motivated and inspire those around you. Be the leader who lifts others up, and in doing so, create more leaders. Now is the time to step up. Now is the time to lead.

Sermons We See

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,
But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you and the high advise you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.
When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behind
Just to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in me
To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.
And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today
Is not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.
One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;
One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told.
Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,
For right living speaks a language which to every one is clear.
Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,
I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.
So yes, don't just tell someone how to do something, show them, greater benefits for both :)
