When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The current challenges facing not only humanity, but our very way of life are daunting. We as a society have a choice, to cower, pray & hope for our knight in shining armour to ride to our rescue or, stand straight, push through the fear & take control of our own destiny. Not since the commencement of the Second World War have we seen the need for a global response to combat an enemy, and while the leaders of sovereign nations around the globe try to manage and mitigate a genuine crisis, we as individuals, can focus on what we know best – ourselves.

It should be apparent that there is no “one size fits all” solution to the enormous hurdles that face us all, and we must direct our efforts locally to target not only how to direct the support offered to us from higher levels of government, but to fill the gaps that those responses will undoubtedly contain with respect to our specific needs. The situation requires the ability to recognize where national and provincial strategies fall short locally. Further, in identifying any shortcomings, we must source those solutions either from within, or non-traditional avenues.

We as individuals as well as a community, need to muster the resolve to face this challenge head on, united as one. We must also demand the same from our leadership who must direct all their energies towards their constituents & their scope of influence…… focus. Now is not the time to despair and the attached article demonstrates that if we can learn lessons of those who have travelled this road before us, we CAN reach the opposing riverbank.
