Right now, as you know,

there is a lot of emotional vicissitudes and

volatilities and responses to the coronavirus.

And as a result of it, many of my students have asked me, 'John,

what are we going to do?

What is happening?' There are many people reacting and overreacting in fact.

And in my opinion the media is accentuating this as it typically

does cause it sells sensationalism and tends to gets people even

more riled up and make some more panic and more manic, this kind of thing.

So here's my advice.

If you're in a situation where you're having to stop,

maybe not get to do some of the things you were doing because you're concerned

about who you're hanging out with, where you're going,

what might happen, just know that from what I've taught you,

when you're living congruently with your highest values and

doing what's highest in priority,

that's the greatest thing you can do in your life in general and specifically to

your immune system.

Your immune system is strongest when you're living by your highest values

because you're in a state of eustress, not distress. So no matter what goes on,

instead of reacting and going into your amygdala,

which tends to put stress on your system and run down the immune system,

which then aggravates and creates the fear or aggravates the potential for

health issues, stop, find

out how whatever's happening, the other side of it, because even in the crisis,

there's a blessing, even the challenges there's opportunities,

find out how it's serving.

Find how it's on the way and what you can do and how,

if you all of a sudden have to have changes in your itineraries,

how you can actually use it to your greatest advantage.

And find out how to get back to priority according to the new agenda.

If all of a sudden you're not able to fly and you have something that's changed,

ask 'How specifically is it helping me get what I want, my mission in life,

and then how do I use it to my advantage and what is now the highest priority

thing I could be doing at this moment?'

Because as long as you stick to high priority,

you're going to help build the immune system, going to be more resilient,

more adaptable.

You're less likely to have the sympathetic response which tends to cut down the

immune function and you're more endured.

A lot of the people who are having the side effects and symptoms from this

coronavirus are people who are already weakened in their immune system.

Not all but most of them,

and so it's to our advantage to make sure that we eat wisely,

we sleep a little bit,

make sure we breathe deeply,

make sure we do the things that have proven themselves to maximize our fitness

and our health. Therefore, if we are in a situation,

we're in an inescapable situation where somebody has the virus,

it's going to bypass us and if it does, it's going to have a mild effect anyway.

There are a lot of people, 97% of the people that have the virus,

they don't have any much of symptoms at all or have a mild flu and so that

doesn't mean just because you have it that you have to panic.

It just means that you want to make sure that you maximize your immune system in

case you are around that. To sit and completely isolate yourself,

stop everything you're doing and go into panic and be dwelling on the problem

and actually the drama of that, is not the wisest thing to do.

So just keep asking,

so what's the highest priority thing you can be doing at this moment?

I've had people sometimes even cancel their programs, programs we're doing,

none of mine are canceled that I've done, but people have canceled them.

And before you cancel and just react, stop and wait,

because the next day, a week, two weeks or whatever, three weeks or whatever,

things can change. So don't react to sensational television stuff.

They are selling sensationalism. Let's get to the objective facts.

Anytime you stick to the highest objective facts and read up on it and make sure

you understand it, look at the real stats and look at what's really going on.

Look at the probabilities and be objective about it.

You'll stay in your executive center. You won't go into your amygdala,

you won't go into fight or flight responses and run your immune system down,

so from the coronavirus perspective, prioritize your life.

Find out how things are on the way, not in the way, as I've said before,

ask how whatever challenges and things are,

how do you use it to your greatest advantage.

When you're living by your highest values, your most adaptable,

and when you're not your most emotionally reactive and you fear the loss of that

which you seek and you feel the gain of that what you're trying to avoid,

which just makes it more compounded.

There are a lot of people going into ridiculously overreacting mode over

what's going on in the society today. I mean, I know that they're quarantining.

I know that they're stopping people. If you are in that situation, even sake,

just like Viktor Frankl when he was in the concentration camps,

the one that found meaning, which is the mean, the balanced state,

the objective state, in the situation,

are the people that survived and they're the ones that are going to be to come

out strong. It's the people that go into the emotional reactions,

run down their immune system, get into volatility,

accentuate and exaggerate things that end up running themselves down and running

themselves sick and distracting themselves from their business.

If you're in a situation and your business is affected in any way by what's

going on, then ask 'What's the next highest thing I can do?

What I had planned has been changed.

What's the next highest priority thing I can be doing at this moment?

That helps me fulfill my mission in my career.' If you have relationship

stresses and there's somebody that just doesn't want to go out and you do,

find out how whatever their values are, whatever they think they are,

try to find out how to communicate in those values because they're more

receptive. They're more likely to be in their executive center themselves.

There'll be more adaptive and they're better at communicating.

And any area of your life socially,

if you find out that you're obviously not wise to go out and do certain things

because you found out that two of the friends that you know have coronavirus,

okay,

maybe that's wise not to go and put yourself obviously

but at the same time just know that it's not just the virility of the

virus itself, it's also the immunity of the individual.

Because there's some people that are getting it and they're having no effect at

all, not even any symptoms. They're carriers and they

And you got others that are dying over this.

So there's obviously something distinct in the individual,

not just the virus that's going to do that. There's some factor that is you.

So my advice is to keep yourself into the highest priority thing you can

possibly do. That way you're most resilient and adaptable.

Focus on the highest priority actions you can do each day. If something happens,

adapt,

find out the next highest priority thing you can do in that situation and keep

focused on what's most meaningful to your life. And if nothing else,

this may be the time,

if you've had things cancel or change on you or you have to cancel some of the

things you're doing or you can't travel or whatever it may be,

find out how it's serving you and find out what you can do with that time.

There's bound to be other things you can do with that time,

that's also going to be in the long run,

counterbalancing some of the frustrations that you're facing in the current.

So just know that this will pass, all these things, come and go.

All pandemics, epidemics, they rise, they fall.

I think even the great epidemic we had years ago

lasted six months and so it'll pass through the cold

which is around September, October to around March.

Those are the main Flu seasons in Northern hemisphere the reverse six months in

the Southern hemisphere, they'll pass.

And so the wise thing you can do is to keep yourself eating well,

thinking well, prioritizing your life, read things that are inspirational,

focus on the solution, not the problem.

Dwelling on the problem and dramatizing it and discussing it and talking about

it. And getting emotional about it.

It's only going to run your immune system down and it's going to make you more

vulnerable anyway and you've got other higher priority things to do in life.

So don't sit there and turn on the TV and watch the TV all day and watch all the

drama cause they're sensationalist. Go and do something that fills your mind.

Think of the highest priority thing you could be feeding your brain with,

the highest priority actions you can be doing,

the highest priority people to be hanging out with or communicating with,

the highest priority foods you can be doing,

the highest priority action for your health and use this as a catalyst to do

something extraordinary with your life and use the time if you have extra time

because of it,

to do something amazing with your life because there is no crisis without a

blessing and instead of waiting a day, a week, a month, a year,

or five years later to find out the blessing of something,

I can already see it in people's lives.

And just know that it's going to test people that are not

living by their highest values. Remember I said in almost all my seminars,

your physiology, your psychology, your sociology and your theology,

in this case, sociology is the society itself and even your virology,

all of it is there to help you become authentic. If you live by priority,

the authenticity reveals and the sides outside extrinsically subside.

The world on the outside doesn't have to dictate your destiny.

As I said in the secret,

when the voice and the vision on the inside is louder than all opinions on the

outside you begin to master your life. So take command of your life,

prioritize your life, live in your executive center,

your immune system will rally, it will keep you stable, drink a lot of water,

eat wisely,

do all the things that common sense say get some sunlight cause that gives you

vitamins and helps your immune system,

but just make sure that you're doing something that is priority.

That's the wisest thing I could tell you to do.

But don't sit there and dwell and get dramatized and overreact.

Think before you react, act before you react.

And I just wanted to share that in case you're in a situation where you're just

bombarded by everything in the media, bombarded by people. And by the way,

if you have been listening over the years to my wealth building principles and

you've got the cash reserves,

this is a great time right now for cash investing into cash.

Cash for the crash is a great time. So if there's a crisis,

that's one of the blessings that could be happening right now is it crashes

down. There's wealth to be made. And the same thing when there's time down,

there's information to be cleaned. So ask yourself,

what are the greatest things you can get out of these so-called challenges and

go and use your energy, your time, your resources to the greatest,

highest priority actions possible.

So I just want to tune in and share that with you and I look forward to seeing

you as soon as possible at our next program. And thank you, I love you.
