We could be toppled by the bad news, but that does no one any good. It is essential that we push on, but how do we do that.
Stay informed
Know what's going on, and use that information to your advantage. Make sure you are relying on reliable sources, not the propagandists out there.
Set meaningful, positive goals
Make sure you are working for life enriching goals.
Create the paths to achieve those goals
Take the time to reflect and using backwards design, map out your path to achieving those goals.
Do the work
Just do it. You may want to put on some good music, wear comfortable clothes, create an inspiring environment, or form a great team to inspire your good work. Whatever it takes, do the hard work.
Chart your progress
Keep some data so you can see your progress to your goal.
Refine and reset your path along the way
As you assess your progress, refine and reset your efforts along the way.
Celebrate the wins--small wins and big wins
Relish in the victories along the way and at the end of your goal attainment.
Check in with others
Make sure your goals are well directed by making itme to check in with others you respect.
Have some fun
All work and no play makes a person dull and less successful. Make time for fun! Know what makes you happy, and do that.
