Employees are working from home, some are being laid-off from their jobs. We are living in the strangest time of our life.
Classes are canceled, exams are postponed as everything is locked down. As the COVID-19 pandemic takes the world by a unique storm that forces everybody to stay at home, it is not easy to cope with this new situation.
Your best comes from your habits, practice, growth, setbacks, accomplishments, and information that you have collected over the years.
The world will resume someday, it surely will when this whole coronavirus outbreak finally comes to an end.
Today, in order to prepare for a better tomorrow, you have to commit to the tasks today so to lay the foundation for the future. Many of your tedious tasks can be hectic and time-consuming but with the right mindset, you can transform your efforts into achievements.
This can happen only when you commit to investing in yourself for your dreams to come alive.
Following are the few things you can do today to make sure that your tomorrow turns out to be great:
1- Get a clear perspective:
You must take out time from your busy schedule to think and prioritize your long-term goals. It is because once you have a clear picture in front of you, you will be able to plan better and stay on track. When you have a bigger picture in mind, it becomes easier to stay on track.
2- Get rid of negativity:
For preparing yourself for a better tomorrow, you need to get rid of all the negativity. Negativity is something that wastes your energy without you knowing. Therefore, quit paying attention to overly critical thinking about people who don’t matter much and stay focused on things that make you happy.
3- Visualize things coming to you:
This is something I have been doing for the past few years and remember it all the time. Visualize your tomorrow and think of doing everything perfectly. It is because of the attitude and perspective with which you will go ahead will help you create a better future.
4- Be Grateful:
Always remember to show gratitude towards life in whatever situation you are. It is a great way to recognize things that make your life easier but you take them for granted. Be thankful for opening up your eyes every new day and to be able to breathe and move freely.
5- Push your limits:
You will never be able to know your abilities if you don’t push yourself. Do something you fear and embrace the unknown. Once you push yourself to another level, you will become comfortable with your boundaries and will not be afraid to try new things.
Spend your time in learning new skills. Spend it wisely by making efforts to enhance your knowledge so when the normal life resumes, you come out as a better person, one who is well learned, improved and has acquired more wisdom.
Read and train yourself. Bill Gates & Warren Buffet read 50 books in a year. Readers are leaders.
6- Let go:
You become happy in the real sense when you let go of things of the past. Learn to forgive your own mistakes as well as the mistakes of other people. Make sure not to repeat things that brought trouble for the first time and learn from them.

There is no good that can come by setting aside which can be completed today. If you put off things for tomorrow, it will still exist and soon enough you will face another fear. Minimize your life on fears and focus on your highest objectives through purposeful action.
