What were your plans before the pandemic?For all of us, the pandemic hit us like a Mack truck. We had hopes of going on trips, opening a new business, or even getting married. It has caused us to rethink everything that we had planned to do. In my area, I had seen signs of new businesses that were slated to open, but they were never able to open.
I know a few people who were supposed to get married this year, and every one of them put things on hold. I suggested that maybe they should have a very small ceremony and then have the wedding of their dreams later on. I wish I never said that because they looked at me like I had five heads.
What I am getting at in this post is the fact that we will have to learn how to live to the best of our ability with the hand that we have been dealt. You can save up your money so when this pandemic is over, you will be able to take your dream trip.
If you really want to get married, you can get married right now. It is not safe to have big weddings right now, and it will be a while before we will be able to. Be creative and step out of your comfort zone. If you were not able to open that physical business, you can still open a different type of business online. The pandemic caused so many new online businesses to emerge.
Some hair stores in my area were closed for a very long time, and I hope that they will consider adding an online store in addition to their physical stores. This would allow the employees to still make money even though they cannot open their stores.
If you were living in a location where the rent is very high, maybe you can consider moving to an area that is known to be safe but has cheaper rent. I am even thinking about doing this.
Thank God that we live in a virtual world where we are not totally crippled by the pandemic. Whatever plans that you have can be recreated at another date and time. Stay safe and protect your loved ones, and when this thing is over, have the biggest celebration ever!
