Keeping your feet on the ground
Trump, climate change, the corona virus, refugee crises, etc…these things can make one pretty dizzy. Nowadays, countless messages come pouring in, through all kinds of channels, every day, and 90 percent are negative.
One can easily get the impression that these events are all crucial for our daily well-being. But not at all!
They have an influence, sure, but your personal environment is largely determined by exactly one thing: your small daily decisions.
How you treat the people around you has a greater impact on your happiness and success than the killing of a terrorist in Yemen or even the impact of a new virus.
It is very easy to be distracted by exploited media events and use them as an excuse for doing nothing.
Keep your feet on the ground. Here are three things you should do every day despite or because of all crises:
- Decision. Decide every day on your behaviour and your positive influence on others. How do you want to positively influence others? What positive things do you want to achieve?
- Action. Instead of consuming news, do something good for the world and your environment. You always have enough time, but you must use it properly.
- Reflection. Continuously reflect on your behaviour and your impact. Do not allow yourself to be controlled by the media and others.
