Glennon Doyle has a quote, “Just do the next right thing. One thing at a time.”
I like this idea because it doesn't matter what got you to this point. It doesn't become overwhelming to think about the hole you've dug yourself into. Just do the next right thing. It puts you on the right direction.
I think this is a great tactic for everyone in terms of the recent pandemic and our reactions to them. Haven't been social distancing? It's okay, just start now. Been hoarding necessary supplies? It's okay, find a place in need to donate them. Business owner that is still open? It's okay, adjust your policies now.
It's hard to always do the right thing. But one of my other favorite maxims is “once you know better, do better.”
There is no wrong time to make the right decision. Just do the next right thing.
And if you haven't yet read this widely shared Medium article, make that your next thing.
