I get you. Do you miss 'the old you'? How old were you when the pandemic started?
I'm 40 now, and I struggle to see what a 'normal' brain could still achieve. It feels like the last 20 years made it impossible to build the network, leadership skills, experience, etc etc. With those foundations missing, can my remaining working years actually lead to a significant improvement in my quality of life?
What do you think?
I'll just leave a quote here. It's from the uncertain times at the end of WW2
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
