Perspective? A Totally Different Way to Think About the Pandemic!

ALERT!!!! How to look at the pandemic from a totally different perspective!


If you listen to the news, watch the media, or read social media, you will find 10 million different explanations on what caused the pandemic, how to deal with the pandemic, when it’s going to end, and so forth.


But what if I were to tell you that there’s a healthier, more powerful way to move through this pandemic than reading, watching, and discussing all of the insanity around it?


I am a different thinker. I am not normal, my whole family would agree with me, I am not a normal guy, I’m not a normal counselor, there’s nothing normal about me so this article will surely not be normal either!


For the past 42 years, as a counselor, number one best-selling author, and more we have helped millions of people change their perspective on life in order to become more successful, find inner peace, and create the life they’ve always wanted.


Does that sound good to you?


Even during the pandemic, would you like to start to create a more successful life? A happier one?


Would you like to create a better relationship right now during the pandemic? Would you like to make more money during the pandemic?

Would you like to get into better shape during the pandemic?


Well, I have the answer, if you’re willing to stretch your mind, and get out of the little boxes that we all paint ourselves in, that can allow us to lose weight, create a deeper relationship with our partner, find a better job or make more money, drop addictions… Any goal you want I can help you get there super fast if you’re willing to stretch your mind!


I just did a national radio media tour, and it was amazing how many of the hosts wanted to blame the new president on the pandemic, or they want to blame the drug companies for screwing around with the vaccines. They want to blame. They want to blame. They want to blame!


And it shocks me because we’ve been in this pandemic for over a year now, so why are people still talking about conspiracy theories, blame, etc.?


If you remember 2020, everyone kept saying “wait until 2021! The virus will be gone, the pandemic will be over, and we will be back to normal!“

What a bunch of nonsense!


In 2021 we still have massive outbreaks, we still have people dying from the virus, we still have countries shutting down… Doesn’t that tell us something?


So if you want to continue to argue about how this pandemic started, who is to blame, you can do that but I’m going to offer an alternative little rock your little world!


And what is that alternative?


“Accept the pandemic today as if it’s never going to leave!“


Did you read what I just wrote?


“Accept the pandemic today as if it’s never going to leave!“


You see when we use acceptance of the fact that the pandemic is here “so I’m just going to wear the mask and not worry about it, I’m going to keep social distancing and not cause a fit over it, I’m not going to go into a grocery store and scream at the manager because he wants me to wear a mask and I don’t want to”…


You can continue with that attitude and you’re going to be stressed, you’ll turn into an alcoholic, relationships will fall apart, you’ll gain weight, you’ll feel like crap, you’ll be mentally exhausted all the time because you’re fighting versus accepting.


So here are the benefits of accepting the fact that the pandemic is here to stay:


Number One. We quit worrying about when it’s going to leave. So many people are so focused on “when is this going to be over?”, that they’re not dealing with the reality that it’s still here.


Number Two. Start living your damn life today! Open the new business, grab a few business partners, start a new business that will flourish, fill a need that’s not being met in your society or somewhere in the world…


Don’t let the pandemic get in the way, instead, use it as an opportunity to be creative and create a better business or more money.


Number Three. When we accept the fact that the pandemic is here for as long as it’s here, we decrease our stress levels, we start making better choices with food, we start taking care of our bodies, we’re not waiting for some magical day when “the pandemic is finally over“, to live our lives.


Number Four. We totally remove ourselves from the ridiculous reports on television and radio and social media that continue to hammer blame, deflection, and all of the ridiculousness that’s going on for the past year and a half.


Number Five. When we accept the fact that the pandemic is here for as long as it is, we actually can take a big breath and live again!


Sure we’re going to wash our hands, cover our faces with the mask, and social distance but our attitude is going to be phenomenal!


Our attitude will improve because we’re not arguing with anyone anymore, we’re not trying to convince them that we are right and they are wrong, our attitude improves because we’ve come to the place of acceptance in life!


I had to do this very same thing when I accepted years ago that I was an alcoholic.


I had to do the very same thing when I accepted years ago and I was a cocaine addict.


I had to do the same thing years ago when I accepted the fact that I was extremely codependent in intimate relationships, and it was through the acceptance of all of the stuff above that allowed me to heal!


Don’t fight the pandemic anymore!


Quit arguing with people over conspiracy theories!


Just simply accept and hey, life is different, my superpower is adapting to change in life, so let me use my superpower!


Adapt! Change! But whatever you do quit fighting!


I know there’s going to be a lot of people that will hate this article… They want to stay stuck in “being right, arguing, arguing, being right!”

And for those people, there’s nothing that’s going to change their minds so I don’t even care if they disagree with me.


But for the people who are open-minded? I swear to God, this article will radically change your life not just for today, but for the rest of your life!

If you need help coming to acceptance of everything that’s going on, it’s not the easiest thing to do but I can tell you it’s going to be worth it.


Reach out to me from anywhere in the world and I will help you via phone or Skype to overcome the resistance, accept the reality of life, create more inner peace, success and joy.


It’s time, to change.”

I sit here today, like many people, looking back at the last five years and understanding the struggle that most of us have been going through. Like me, you might be experiencing a holiday season without a loved one Like me you might be experiencing a holiday season that has been preceded by several years of deep trauma, that for many of us is a part of our lives… Even though we wish it wasn’t. In the struggles we’ve all faced, I think it’s so important to figure out what we’re learning about ourselves, what we’re learning about our belief systems, what we’re learning about self-care and how we treat others. Normally people do these posts on January 1 getting everyone ready for the new year, but I wanted to do it today because 2026 is in our hands, it can be complete crap, or it can be something quite different. It really depends on our perspective, our mindset, and how we’re willing to change what isn’t working now into what will work in the near future. Some of us have had incredible health struggles. Others have had relationship break ups. Others have gone through Divorce. Others have gone through financial collapse. Others have tried to figure out the whole world of grieving, after losing a loved one when they’ve never been in that position before. Others have struggled with finding the right job, the right career Others have struggled with deep mental health issues, anxiety, depression, mental issues. So we come to this point, and we can either hold onto the struggles that we’ve gone through over the last five years or we can slowly start to release them and look for tools that are all over the place and how to change our mindset how to change our subconscious mind and how to expect the best after five years of hell for many of us. Is it possible? Hell, yes! But we have to decide now… How we’re going to strengthen our mental health, how we’re going to improve our physical health, how we’re going to improve our relationships, how we’re going to improve our financial situation, how we’re going to improve anything else not mentioned here that has been a stressful experience for us in the past. Many of us will find solace in a deep connection by going deeper into your spiritual or religious experiences. Others will find solace by finding a mentor, counselor, teacher who can assist us because they’ve already been in the situation we’re currently facing. Others will find solace “community“, whether it’s business groups or Recovery, groups, or mastermind groups, community could be the answer for many people who are struggling right now. Others will find solace simply by letting go! By releasing the constant grind… By releasing the Constant need to “have more buy more“ Others will find solace by going deeper into the world of volunteerism, whether it’s pet shelters or reading to the blind, there’s so many different ways that you can start to shift your identity from struggle to service. Others will find solace by going into the creative world, by learning a musical instrument or learning how to draw or paint or woodwork or some other type of hobby that allows them to tap into different parts of the brain to continue to grow as a human being, not to get stuck in the negativity. I have clients that have found great solace in the last six months by completely getting off of all social media. I have clients in the last six months that found solace by completely eliminating anything to do with the news or political conversations. I have clients in the last year that never believe they’d be able to meditate or learn diaphragmatic breathing or learn emotional regulation or lose 50 to 100 pounds and yet they’ve all done it in the last 12 months! But it didn’t happen because they started 30 days ago it’s happened because they started 12 months ago which is the whole purpose of my article here! Now is the time my brothers and sisters to begin the change! Now is the time to start to really learn about the power of your subconscious mind and how to turn it into one of the greatest assets you’ve ever had in your life and I promise you this… If you learn how to master The subconscious mind in 12 months, you’ll be a completely different person potentially in every area of your life! I’ve seen that happen in my life! I’ve seen it happen in thousands of thousands of clients that I’ve worked with over the past 50 years… Their lives completely changed in a year or less! This is why I am Asking you to strongly consider taking the time now up until January 1 to really get yourself going so on January 2 you know what you’re gonna be doing every day in order to shatter the old triggers, to shatter the old fears and insecurities, and to bring you to the place that you want to be financially, relationship, wise, healthwise, mentally, emotionally… I want you in 12 months or less to be exactly where you want to be and I know you can do it because I’ve seen it happen over 1000 times! You have the power to radically change your life right now if you so desire! You have the power to completely turn around anything that has been a trigger, and turn it into a non-event! Believe in yourself! Believe even deeper in yourself! I am wishing you the most amazing radical change if that is what’s necessary in your life, so you can live the life of your desires, your dreams and create at the same time opportunities for others to see what’s possible… You become the role model for success! I’m sending you so much love, so much joy, and a prayer that you take 2026 seriously enough to begin in writing the daily rituals that you will start to follow in order to create what you deserve. With love, David
