The so-called 'FOMO'
FOMO (fear of missing out) refers to almost everything that, as humans, we have always been afraid to miss out on: luxurious travels, expensive goods, delicious food.
While dealing with the current pandemic, we can finally take a break from this fear, as no one has all the above-mentioned experiences or items anymore. Everybody is stuck in their house now, doing home office or nothing at all.

Use your time wisely
During this tough period we are all currently facing, there is a positive aspect worth being taken into account: staying isolated at home can provide us with unique chances.

Prolonged uncertainty
We are dealing with the feeling of uncertainty, and we don't know when our feeling of uncertainty will end.
We dream about when we can safely leave our homes, see our loved ones, and go back to normal. We wonder if our businesses will reopen or when we will stop feeling so paralyzed with fear.
Ambiguous loss
We have lost so much, and many elements missing from our normal lives are intangible and can hardly be identified. Because it is ambiguous, we find it difficult to know what we are mourning.
It is a loss of the way we have lived, the boundaries between work, home, school. Our plans, weddings, birthday parties, loss of safety and trust in our leadership. The loss of connection, the fear of economic toll.

Work hard, live longer
One of the biggest truths you will ever come to realize is that hard work, ambition and targets give actual meaning to your life.

There is a limit to happiness
Whoever believes that happiness knows no bound is in for a big surprise: happiness, like everything in this world, knows limits and very often we perceive this fact maybe just a bit too harsh.
