Joseph D’aranjo has a word of encouragement for us amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

LOCKDOWN: That’s the buzzword now – everywhere. Many are scrambling to cope with this new norm. How do we react to this? By being supportive, caring and considerate.

Let’s stay positive in a time of fear and anxiety and see LOCKDOWN as:

L – Listen and reach out to those in vulnerable positions.

O – Open our hearts and in some situations home to those in need.

C – Call out to those in the front lines and show appreciation for their dedication, commitment and courage.

K – Know that despite everything, we will get through this and come out stronger and more united.

D – Dwell in the knowledge that it’s going to get better.

O – Open ourselves to new ways of doing things and find new opportunities in doing our business.

W – Wait and know that this too shall pass. Be ready to embrace the new chapter.

N – Nurture new and existing relationships and connect with people that you have not be in touch for a while.

Be that new community of hope.

Please share this with your families and friends.
