Stop keeping your head buried in the sand
It is safe to say the world will never be the same. It has been nearly FOUR months since the first case of COVID 19 was reported here in the United States. Since that point, terms such as…
Social distancing, PPE, Flattening the curve, Financial Depression, Financial Recession, Stock market crash have been used often.
Life has changed in so many ways. As a doctor, I continue to come to the clinic, but only to see urgent cases. People are dying and stocks are crashing. Even though I considered myself an educated individual, I have had my head buried in the sand too long. There are three types of people. Some one who is not educated on a topic and will never know they need to be educated on it. The second person knows they need to be educated, but never take the steps to do so. The final type knows they need to be educated, takes the steps to do so, and takes ACTION. I was the second type, but I have changed in a short few weeks to be of the latter.
I realized during this whole crisis. I needed to educate myself. I needed to educate myself in my own personal health, in relationships, in business, in investing, and in my personal finances. I challenge you to do the same. Start taking charge of your life and take your head out of the sand.
With many people at home with more free time. Start educating yourself in areas like…
Reading financial statements, including your own personal one
Educating yourself in Real estate and Stocks
Personal health and nutrition
The risks and benefits to Retirement plans and mutual funds
Appreciate TIME as your most valuable resource and to use it WISELY
Educate yourself in building strong relationships professionally and personally
Teach your kids to take on the Challenge

Maybe the year 2020 has not been the most ideal way to live life. However, the challenges it presents have made me appreciate so much. I know under great challenges lie great opportunities. As Young Defenders, we are obligated to take advantage of those opportunities and help others to do the same.
