Listen, I’m not your boss. I’m not trying to bludgeon you with a motivational hammer. I’m coming to you as your friend. And I’m telling you the same things I had to tell myself not too long ago.

It’s time to get back to work.

It’s time to personally reintegrate with the professional world and figure out how to operate in the new normal — which, coincidentally, is looking like it’s not going to be too different from the old normal.

That said, one of the main differences between now and then is that there are shards of opportunity scattered everywhere, waiting to be seized upon. You can feel it the moment you step outside.

It’s time to step outside.

Many of us went into some kind of professional hibernation when Lockdown Spring turned into Lockdown Summer and then eventually Lockdown Year.

Plus a couple months more.

I’m not trying to motivate you. All I’m trying to do is to get you to think about coming out of 2021 as better than you were going into 2020. The good news is that with all setbacks follows the inevitable bounce back.

It’s time to grab hold with both hands and ride that bounce.
