It’s been 8 months since the first case of coronavirus has been discovered and after few months later a pandemic was declared. The whole world went into lock down and quarantine, most of us with little to do. Perhaps, soon this quarantine will be lifted and we all will get back to our lives. But for today, it looks like we have got just ourselves. I, for one, am going to start seeing this quarantine as a greatest opportunity we will ever get rather than taking it negatively.

In the middle of chaos lie opportunity.
— Bruce Lee

Realizing the importance of the current time, one should also realize self-importance. We must look for our self. Just think about our self. We have spent most of our life living with friends, family, neighbor. Spend most of our time living for them. But didn’t spend an hour or two for our self. This is the appropriate time to self-contemplate ourselves. We have all heard the fancy dialogue but never understood it deeply: “Get your shit together”. Well, this is the right opportunity.

Taking advantage of this time one must achieve their long-lost goals and self-contemplate them self. We have many hobbies but we have long forgotten them to keep them alive and so we must work on our skills, goals, discover new hobbies, passion, develop new skills and set goals for the future as this quarantine isn’t going to last forever but these skills, hobbies are going to. In this quarantined state we can develop habits uninterruptedly and have consistency. Inculcate new habits and witness oneself as a superior outcome of quarantine. Rome was not built in a day and neither was a habit. It will take time to develop and will face problem in having persistence but one must keep trying and achieve the target. Figure out the future, make decisive plans, don’t astray from your goals.

We should prioritize ourselves and move on to the work. This is the better time to work on our Personality Development. We should exploit this quarantine and inculcate some habits which will be the key to our personality development. Our own personality is the greatest asset. Our personality will make us peculiar to others. As we say, “A first impression is the last impression”, so look out for it.

We must focus on the positivity. Do not be menaced by negative people. These are the only people who are holding us back. The negative energy these people emit can be harmful. Remove them or have less contact with these vice people.

Realize what problems are essential to solve. Something’s are better when they are left unsolved. But solving the necessary issues will maneuver a bright future.

2020 is a harsh year and so we must try and get effectual results from ourselves.
