Realizations in life this pandemic

It’s almost two years, and covid 19 is still around the corner. The things we used to do completely changed and we weren’t all prepared for that. It struck us, leave us hanging and clueless on what’s gonna happened next? Almost all of us were affected by this pandemic. When a positive case were confirmed in our country everyone got scared. As days goes by it keeps on going up until lockdowns were implemented nationwide.

Suddenly, a lot of countries are closing its boarders for new travellers most especially from those countries with higher cases. Some of the overseas workers were sent back home without any assurance of coming back to their former employees. It was a relief somehow, because they can be with their loved ones in this trying times.

Lucky are those who never lost their jobs and continued working at home because they still have the means to provide for their family’s needs. But it has been a struggle for those who lost their means of income. Many companies has shut down their business because of bankruptcy, most of them were the small and medium enterprises. It was a sad reality but what can we do, everyone has to get up and think of something that will help them survive the challenges this pandemic brought.

Gladly, we were known for being resilient at all times. No matter how strong the storm is, we can definitely overcome it. And during pandemic a lot of us did something in order to provide the needs of their family. Since it was really hard to look for jobs during that time, technology played a big part in helping most of us. That’s where online selling booms more. In all fairness, a lot of hardworking people gains from selling online.

Being resilient isn’t enough, this pandemic helped us realize things we should be doing even when there’s no pandemic. More like we should be aware of these things and never take it for granted.

Health is wealth. Do you believe that being healthy means being wealthy as well. This pandemic once again proves this. Mostly the one that has existed health conditions were the ones that suffered most due to some complications in their body. Unlike those who were healthy, even though they got infected they were able to surpassed it. This situation is like battle of the fittest which means only the strongest will survive.

Money doesn’t grow on trees. Another realizations I encountered during this pandemic is using our hard earned money wisely. My husband is working overseas so he earned a little higher than working here. But what most people don’t know is that, working abroad isn’t easy at all. It takes a lot of patience, homesickness, and determination if you want to be successful working outside the country. So you can’t blame them that whenever they went home, they spend their money on anything because they deserve it and thinking they can earned it again once they go back to work.

But this pandemic has changed it all. We have to make sure our money were spent on important things rather spending it on things we didn’t need. Some of us have been wise, taking risk of spending their last money to open an appropriate business so that they can still sustain their daily needs through it.

Family is everything. At the end of the day it is still your family that will be there for you through ups and down. Though not all, but this pandemic has exposed who will really help you in the end despite of having nothing. It’s sad that the people you expected to be with you suddenly is nowhere to be seen. But hey, trust your loved ones, because some of them may have left you hanging, but your family will stay the same and will never leave you until the end.

We don’t really know yet until when this pandemic is going to stay. I am sure a lot of us have every story to share on what they experienced during this trying times. They said that lessons in life are learned the hard way. Agree? I super agree with this one. Now that we are slowly opening up and maybe back in the normal ways, I hope everyone should take every lesson learned seriously. Let’s all be better in the coming days, months or even years. That if another phenomenon will come, we will all be prepare and know exactly what to do.

That’s it for today. Thank you once again for dropping by at my post.
