The Cutest Virtual Worker

“Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.” – Deepak Chopra

“Our present moment is a mystery that we are part of. Here and now is where all the wonder of life lies hidden. And make no mistake about it, to strive to live completely in the present is to strive for what already is the case.” – Wayne Dyer

My great-nephew Liam – a regular character on this blog – has been calling me the last few mornings on his Grandpa’s work headset. He’s at home from school learning, playing and joining the virtual meeting world that we are all in right now. He is a steady, consistent force of optimism, delight and enthusiasm and my best life coach.

Many coworkers and colleagues are at home with kids and four-legged family members working through this “new normal.” While it may not be as fun for the parents, I am really enjoying seeing the energetic kids and happy dogs.

Each day, we own the choices we make that create our perspective. Choose abundance over scarcity. Generosity over hoarding. Empathy over judgment. Energy over order. Joy over fear. This is a call to enjoy these close, irritating and home bound days.

We will long for this time again when we get to the other side. See the good in this moment, savor this time and prepare for the #otherside.
