“We are going through some chaotic times right now, but there is opportunity - as long as we're willing to recognise it and also capitalize on it.” 

Globally this situation sucks. We’re experiencing massive changes across all areas of our lives. You can’t downplay or under-estimate the wave of destruction that’s currently making its way across the globe, but you can choose to dive into the fresh opportunities that are bubbling up. 

Take working from home. With shelter-in-place recommendations popping up everywhere, people are being forced to work and live in alien ways. But with the right strategies and mindsets, you can choose to create more happiness and productivity out of this crazy situation.
