How To Make The Coronavirus Work For You
Are you afraid or experiencing financial hardship during the coronavirus spread like I am? I can honestly say it gives me more of a reason to make my resume perfect, and it gives me the time to get the certification I’ve been wanting to further my career with. I can assure you, this is the perfect time to start doing the things you put off because you were too busy.

There are just so many things I can do to make this obstacle into the life raft I need to get ahead in the world.

This coronavirus is trying to split communities apart. It’s making people afraid to be be within 6 feet of each other. Maybe it’s time we start thinking of ways to communicate and feel that bond while still being quarantined. It is definitely possible with the technology we have today. When was the last time you wrote a nice letter to someone? We have email now! Or the “Marco Polo” app(not a sponsor), or called someone? Tell people what you are working on, what you’re grateful for.

The other day I called a friend up and just chatted with him for over an hour about nothing in particular, and felt a deep sense of friendship once the call ended. The kind I felt with him when we lived by each other and worked together. I haven’t felt that close of a bond with him in 7 years. Now I feel like calling all of my friends and just seeing how they are doing. It feels good.

Social media is a great way to connect but it’s also very intrusive and has built distrust within our social circles and communities. With all the companies spying on our psychological patterns and how we use social media, I understand why some of the older generation are wary to trust these corporations. I am the first one to say social media is not the healthiest way to communicate. But a time like this calls for thinking outside of that explanation and expand our communities through knowledge in the social media realm. Instead of fearing it, get to understand it and create your boundaries around it. Now is the time to pick up that phone and strengthen a bond with an old friend.

The impediment of self-quarantine is no reason to stop your life, it’s more reason to begin a new life. One where you do what you love to do as your work, that skill you dreamed of doing when you were a teenager, but instead chose a safer path. Create stronger bonds of friendship through the use of modern technology. Italians have been singing together and to each other. Their Air Force even put on a show for them to bring entertainment to their lives. When was the last time you got excited about seeing planes fly in the sky, I can surely say it’s been a long time for me.

And maybe sooner rather than later we will all understand what that ancient roman meant when he said:
