LIVING LIFE IN FULL BLOOM

It ' s incredible how quickly the 1st quarter of this year has flown by as we enter the Spring season with so many learnings .
We witnessed the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccinations by various pharmaceutical companies and in many countries beginning of 2021 and hoped this year would be positive and return to some normality . The pandemic helped learn lessons on improving the hierarchy in hospital organizational structures to address the backlog of patients requiring treatment to formulating more effective and efficient teams .
Although some countries have been affected by COVID-19 variants , during this time , we should reflect on some of the new exciting possibilities emerging for every one of us as we spring forward into the next quarter to find better ways to live .
This month marks Easter and Ramadan ' s start , the fasting period for many to reminisce on our spiritual path , be thankful to be with our families , and be surrounded by love and peace .
As we engage in activities that we would not have had time for , we welcome a flexible working model , cycling , or walking to work . As we continue to bloom , some tips for a fantastic 2021 ( i ) practice gratitude ( ii ) learn something new ( art , riding a bike , skydiving , reading ) ( iii ) enhance your knowledge ( online courses , attendance of webinars ) ( iv ) think outside of the box so be chancy ( take calculated risks - start a business from home ?, why not ?) and lastly ( v ) see a fresh start even when in a loss .
