People are doing all kinds of interesting things in these difficult times. A friend who’s in a band sings for others every night on Facebook. One of the smartest guys I know has an Open Chat twice a day, five days a week, on Zoom. And my consulting partner and I have started posting lessons in leadership effectiveness on our Tiny Classroom Live Facebook page. Yesterday I saw Vince Gill on Facebook participating in something he called a Deep Cuts Challenge – singing inspiring songs and asking others to do the same. Companies are conducting business online, media outlets are giving subscriptions away for free, restaurants are selling groceries, people are producing virtual conferences, and friends and families are having distance dinner parties on Face Time. We all could have done these various things before… but we weren’t inspired like we are now: these difficulties aroused and fueled our spirits. We’re sharing and caring, almost like never before. Make the most of your talents and opportunities in these difficult times – find a new groove and keep your spirit strong today.
William Ellery Channing (1780 – 1842): The foremost Unitarian Theologian in the United States in the early nineteenth century
