The internet meme that the word fear means “false evidence appearing real,” is a nice thought, but in our present situation, there is a real and present danger, one we are working to overcome. There are, however, many things you are not going to lose during our emergency. This list is also what you must retain, even though some will require considerable effort as we face our global crisis. **Your Relationships**: You are not going to lose [the lifetime of relationships](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/the-lie-that-relationships-dont-matter-in-sales) you have built and nurtured over a lifetime. On the other side, you are going to have your family, your friends, your clients, and your partners. They will be thrilled to have you still, and you will be here to help each other. **Your Attitude**: It is natural to feel fear and doubt. But it’s essential you keep a [positive, optimistic, future-oriented](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/attitude-checklist), and empowered attitude and belief system. There is nothing to gain by being pessimistic, especially when you need to take action. You need to keep your attitude positive, even though it isn’t always going to be easy. **Your Knowledge**: It has been a very long time since I have heard anyone say, “No one can take your education away from you.” Even though some of what we believed may be proven wrong, like the idea that “it can’t happen here,” what you know will still be intact, and it will be beneficial in the future. **Your Experience**: Another form of knowledge, and one that you will also retain in the future. Your experience is still going to be valuable, and it may be worth even more when we reach the other side, as we begin to rebuild. Your [situational knowledge](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/what-to-do-when-you-dont-have-situational-knowledge) is an advantage in the future. **Your Memories**: A life is made up of experiences, the best and most important of which include your friends and your family. The best things in life are not things; they are our memories, and particularly the ones we make with the ones we love. **Your Goals and Dreams**: Your goals and dreams might take a hit, but when something is important to you, it is still going to be important to you in the future. You can, should, must keep [your achievable goals and your dream](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/the-magic-power-in-setting-goals-so-big-they-scare-you)s. Let them fuel you through this challenge. **Your Hunger**: The key to reaching your goals and finding [wild success is mostly hunger](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/the-single-most-important-prerequisite-for-success). If you were hungry before, you will be even hungrier on the other side of this crisis. Let the desire wake you up in the morning and taking action as soon as your feet hit the floor. **Your Ability to Help**: Your ability to help, to share, to [create value for others](https://www.thesalesblog.com/blog/caring-is-a-super-power) is only going to grow stronger during difficult times. It is difficult to worry about yourself and your future if you are focused on helping others who need you. **Your Soul**: The part of you that is unique isn’t going to go missing. The Buddhist koan, “show me your original face before your mother and father were born” is an attempt to help you recognize this part of you. There is no threat of losing what is essentially you. **Your Spiritual Faith**: In times of crisis, it is easy to doubt your faith, to question what you believe, what you know. The word faith is to believe without physical proof, but trusting what your spirit perceives. Your faith will endure this test. Please remember that we are in the middle chapters of our story, not the ending.
