Life Lessons

Life is a Marathon, Not a Race

COVID-19 has stopped many of us in our tracks. In February, I was talking to my mentor about my plans and aspirations for the next year and she mentioned the magnet hanging on her refrigerator that says, “We make plans and God laughs”.

Fast forward two months, God has laughed. If you’re hyper goal-oriented as I am, knowing when it is “enough” or “good enough” is a challenge. Two months ago, I was on track to accelerating my career by a decade or two. Now, I am thankful to be in a career that allows me freedom to work from home and has upward potential.

This time has allowed me and others to exit the rat race. It’s allowed time to reflect. I am learning what is “good” and “enough” each day.
