Today’s Takeaway: The events of the past year have impacted all of us, but sometimes the most challenging times present the biggest opportunity for positive change. Sometimes it can actually motivate us to become a better person. Try to imagine your best life. What does it look like? How do you feel? The pandemic can make this difficult, but it will not last forever. Real change takes time.
