LESSONS THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC HAS TAUGHT ME

❤ We are connected as a world. Empathize when a problem happens on one part of the world, it might catch up to you

🖤 Your life can be flipped upside down and changed in an instant. Live life intentionally and with purpose

💙 Racism, Classism, Tribalism and all the "isms" are foolishness. Corona was a leveller. It affected black, white, rich, poor. Every human. From all walks of life. Quit these nonsense discriminations . Newsflash!!! When push comes to shove. You really ain't better than the next man. Believe that.

💜 Those who preached technology Is evil were forced to refute that message. I have never seen so many "live sermons" as in this season

🧡 We need each other. I need you to protect me, you need me to protect you

🤎 Appreciate ALL jobs. Where would we be without the truck drivers driving food supplies to and fro and cleaners who fumigate and sanitise our surroundings?

🖤 Some cultures and traditions we thought were a "must" do or some calamity would befall the family have been proved to be nothing but a fallacy

❤ Learnt that the dead can be buried within days. The culture of keeping bodies for weeks is unnecessary. Our Muslim brothers and sisters have had it on point all along

💚 Invest more time in family ~ we were forced to stay home and some families realised they are total strangers to their loved ones. Our busyness created a rift we were not even aware of. May we treasure and make time for family

🤎 Consuming too much negative information can be toxic to your mental and physical health.

💜 Those who refused to embrace technology have just had to Zoom, Whatssap, FaceTime, Skype became essential to keeping in touch. In most places medical consultations were online with a medic. Church and even funerals happened on Zoom. It is good to keep abreast of new technology

💛 Those who believe in massive weddings were forced to rethink. Weddings don't have to have 500 people nor cost much

💙 Have a saving culture. Unexpected things happen!

💜 Learn to navigate, cope and remain centred when things don't go as planned, otherwise your mental health will suffer

🤎 Health is wealth. We should never take our health for granted. Even to breathe free air is a blessing

🖤 Find opportunities within a crisis. Many genuine millionares were made during this pandemic

💛 Lock down made us realise there is beauty in physically interacting with people, we longed and yearned for it, don't take it for granted. Get off virtually and actually meet

❤ Be a blessing to people who are suffering, help whenever you can. You never know when the unexpected might come to your door. Hopefully those you helped will return the kindness you afforded them when they needed it

🧡 Things will happen in life to remind you how much you need God. Ain't that the truth?! We all cried out for mercy

💚 We worked from home. The traffic and long commutes are really unnecessary. Most jobs can actually be done from home

💜 We can run out of food and essential supplies. Less wastage is key

🤎 Job security? No such thing. So many people lost their jobs. It's worth having side hustles too and not just relying on "salary"

❤ Together as ONE we can fight, rise above and beat anything, even pandemics.

💙 Your attitude when you are going through a crisis determines how much you grow when you come out of it. This pandemic taught us many many lessons that can potentially make us better as human kind. May we never forget
