Victim or Victor Checkpoint 2: Uncertainty and Humility

10/10/2020

This is the third email and second checkpoint in our 1/1/2022 Victim or Victor Series.

A quick disclosure on the title.

Early in the pandemic a friend mentioned the phrase "Victim or Victor" off hand in a conversation and it seemed appropriate, not in a dominance sort of way, but as a mental puzzle.

Kind of like we all get to choose our mindset in every situation and the hope is that you will see the good and work towards the victory.

That friend just lost his wine crop for the year in the recent fires and we are crushed for him.

2020 has been a year of so much loss and required so many people to work so hard to keep things going that it is humbling to even have the audacity to write and expect anyone to have the time to read our prose. 

We write to share what we are learning to encourage others and as a form of self therapy to look for the good amidst the clouds and for us in Northern California the seemingly endless smoke. 
​
Thank you for your friendship and readership.

Uncertainty reigns right now. (Don't forget to still Plan)
  • The election, and the pending Covid case spikes appear to be in a tango with so many people's profits, jobs and lives. 
  • It is also darn hard to celebrate while others are suffering.
  • It can be equally hard to plan when many of the things you had planned for were wiped off the table.
  • Yet plan we must and celebration which means (to assemble to honor) can take on special meaning in times like this.
  • Here is a post we shared on CBA planning. 

Meaningful Shared Experiences are being created every week in 2020 (this bodes well for the future)
  • SE=C=T=Joint Success has been a formula we have shared for years and memorialized for college graduates in 2016 in "The NextGen Almanac" 
  • SE stands for shared experiences.
  • C stands for a window into your character.
  • T stands for Trust.
  • The formula is perfect for young people who want to do well, but don't know where to start. 
  • This is when we share with them the power of pitching in or giving back to a cause they care about.
  • One of the natural byproducts of helping out is that you meet other people who have the same interests and your relationships build quickly in that environment. 
  • 2020 has created a universal "give back" opportunity and we are building relational bonds for the future.
  • Here is a quick how-to on community service.

Checking in with people in the next 45 days before the holiday rush might be a good idea.
  • Listening and sharing go a long way towards building community.
  • Pick your channel, email, text, phone they all work and when you ask, "how the heck did we get here?" we can only imagine the answers you will get.
  • Here is our post on building out a network. 

In closing if you want to help out our friend who lost his crop you can sign up for their periodic offerings and wine sales here.
