2020 has not progressed like any of us thought it would.

And I don’t want to romanticize the very real sufferings and losses that have occurred this year. But we are sometimes stuck with situations we would not have chosen. What counts is what we can make of those unfortunate situations.

That’s certainly true for this year. Most of us have had the experience of planning something (a vacation, maybe) that was hit with some kind of disaster, and then looking back realizing that that disaster brought about a real adventure in our lives.

Can the disaster of 2020 bring you a real adventure? I think it can. Even as we are – I hope – digging out from the situation we’ve been in for the last several months, I encourage you to look for signs of real adventure

Could you find a new business idea out of this? How about a new or renewed purpose in life? A catching up with someone you’d lost contact with?

Every disaster brings a seed of possibility. Look for those possibilities in your life, and make lemonade out of the lemons this year has brought.
