So here we finally are, in the last month of a tumultuous year. Based on everything that has happened so far, it isn’t hard to imagine that many people are either still reeling or just starting to get back on their feet. Of course, there are some of us who have managed to turn crisis into opportunity.

Wherever we may be in the midst of all this, it’s probably worth planning for the year ahead, and the ones after that.

Certainly, the virus isn’t going to up and leave just because it’s 2021.

However, we cannot let it dictate the rest of our lives.

It may have left an indelible mark on us, but we are an adaptable species.

Somehow, we will rebuild and restore, recalibrate and reconnect, restart and renew.

After all, it is through difficult times that strength and resilience emerges.

Let us embody this and help others around us forge that better future.
