I posted this on social media a few weeks ago:
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
These words are most often attributed to Winston Churchill, of whom I deeply respect and have spent countless hours reading about his life in both his own words and those of others, but have found no record of him ever speaking them.
Nonetheless, that phrase is something each of us should consider while facing or finding ourselves in the midst of a difficult situation. Failures are not fatal, indeed, they are the catalyst to find a better way or a different path. The old adage goes "one door closes and another opens", and I have found this to be true more often than not, but while in throes of the experience, we may not able to see it.
The aforementioned can applied to the current environment in the world today and while it has been and will continue to be impactful on many people's lives, we have to remember this pandemic is not final, we will all learn something from it provided we have the courage to continue.
My sincere thanks to the first responders, delivery teams, and those who must be out in the world working—you are making a difference daily!
Stay safe my friends.
