New normals

Video games have a lot to teach us about mindset.

Just by living and breathing, we’re just waiting for the next crisis, be it the next pandemic, war or financial crisis.

That generally brings a sense of doom and gloom.

When dealing with crises, big or small, public or personal, turning from pessimism to a sense of challenge should help.

Just like video games. Gamers don’t shy away from difficult boss monsters. Gamers ask “how am I going to beat this level?” and “How am I going to get the highest score and complete this mission at the best speed?”

Not “oh no!”,

but “what am I going to do to get through this?”

or even “how am I going to get through this and come out on top?”
