How Will We Approach Life Differently After 2020?

New priorities, new directions and new ways for using technology

Something new is on the horizon. If we choose it. Are we going to go back to our lives after Covid-19 and the lockdowns?

Or are we going to move ahead with our lives?

A new direction

2020 started out for many of us kind of like a smooth road trip, a nice drive around a new country, where the vistas were promised to be great.

We were happily and excitedly, relaxedly looking forward to it.

As we were coming down the first mountain, around the curve, we started getting a glimpse of a beautiful valley. Vibrantly green and luscious, shining with all kinds of colors, plants, birds and sounds —

– like we’d never seen before.

If this was what the rest of the trip was going to be like, it was indeed going to be awesome.

But then, all of a sudden and practically out of nowhere, descending toward the bottom of that beautiful landscape, we found ourselves driving in the thickest, darkest cloud of mist we had ever seen.

It was terrifying.

We tried to continue on the road for a little while longer, carefully and a little more slowly – but we soon came to the conclusion it was far too dangerous to proceed.

So we stopped. And paused.

What happened when we paused

And now, possibly partially because we took the time to step out of our luxurious, fast and super-hi-tech car, and let nature take its time to breathe -

The mist is slowly clearing. Or so it seems.

Now what do we do to find our bearings? How do we go on from here?

We look at our smartphone, of course; our car – our technology, don’t we? What else could help us get to where we’re going?

The same Black Mirror?

We look at the same things that helped us get into this situation – it’s safe enough to assume they can also guide us out, right?

We don’t really stop to rethink our destination, do we? Or the reasons why we want to get there in the first place? Or the way we decide to do that?

But what if we do? What if we now make making time to stop and think about precisely these kinds of questions our new way of being, of moving, of getting ahead –

- in the sense that really matters, whatever that may be for each of us.

Through the mist – event hough it was scary and we were worried about our safety and our health, and that of our parents, children, loved ones, our people – we could still enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Event though we saw less of it, we found ways to appreciate what we were able to experience, more.

And maybe that gratitude, that mindfulness, and those honest questions – are our best way to start anew.

Today, and any day after this.
