What To Do In A Crisis

BTTY Bit No. 5

From Me

In a crisis, or when it all seems to be going wrong, I lean on these:

1. Focus on what you can control

2. Stay positive

3. Communicate, constantly

4. Be consistent but flexible

5. Don’t forget the mission

If you can do something about it, do it. If you can’t, there is no sense in worrying about it. And yes, that’s often easier said than done.

From Someone Else

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.

(Mans Search For Meaning - Victor Frankl)

And this is from a guy who survived not one but four concentration camps.

I just finished War and Remembrance and The Winds of War by Herman Wouk and LOVED them. How can you not love a book with a main character named Pug? He was not only prolific in his prose but also in his research. In the stories of a handful of families in WWII, you’ll find joy, drama, heartbreak, and no shortage of love. Most importantly, the reality of what happened during WWII and the evil. Let’s make sure that future generations never forget.

Take care,

PS - like everything, I can’t claim this as original. I’ve collected pieces from here and there but can’t give proper credit.
