It had been 3 years since I've last seen my family in South Africa.....so when Covid subsided last Fall, I booked my trip to go visit.
Two weeks before I was scheduled to leave.....
The omicron variant was identified in South Africa
Amidst fear, an onslaught of omicron-related travel bans from S-Africa, conflicting covid testing requirements, and flight cancellations, I took the risk and went.
It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Spending time with family and feeling the sun on my face were just what I needed after a banner, but exhausting, year. And to boot, thankfully nobody in my family got sick.
Meanwhile Back in SF
Our friends and colleagues were getting Covid by the dozens and the city was getting pummeled by atmospheric rivers and rain storms.
The lesson for me has always been the same………
You have to take a risk in order to get something good
Don't wait for things to get better. Life will always be complicated. Take the risk. Whether you want to change careers, skydive, buy a home, go back to school, do it now or otherwise you'll run out of time.
“If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. If you don’t wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes.”
