It is forcing us to BE and not just DO. To be out of autopilot will make us feel uncomfortable, disoriented, anxious, weird,... Take some time to feel these feelings. Then, think about all the questions that your autopilot hid from you, so it can make you move faster.
Why do I exist? What does life mean? Am I happy? Am I content? Do I make people I love and take care of happy? Have I achieved what I wanted? What are important values for me? Have I been practicing these values? How am i spending my day? The world has stopped for you so you can re-begin. Do not foolishly waste this rare one in a million chance. #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #copied

You rock, I have been thinking along these lines but frankly afraid to say it. I hope the reactions stay positive because this is an imperative now in my view. Be safe all.

I’m seeing a lot of people evaluate their own lives(this job isn’t satisfying me, travel is t worth etc) and also evaluating society(private insurance is going to fail us miserably, authority figures have dropped the ball)

This has actually forced me to work more and harder than I ever have before. People still want to get stuff done. And now there’s a lot more following up to track things down. And everyone assumes you’re home and can work always. So it starts earlier and ends later. Am I the only one?

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?
