SALT LAKE CITY, March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Applying the new
3Rs, resilience, recalibration and
relationships, will help today's workers get through challenges
brought by the pandemic, according to a global author and CEO.
"The first thing to acknowledge is that every person who has
made it this far through the pandemic is resilient, and that is a
key strength that is going to carry us through to even greater
heights," said Kevin Guest, author
of the bestseller, All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless
Principles for Living a Life in Harmony. "Years ago, I met the
most famous diamond in the world: the Hope Diamond. As I held this
forty-five-and-a-half carat, deep blue diamond in my hands, it made
me think of how resilient this rock is to have withstood the highly
pressured environment in the earth.
"From about 90 miles deep in the earth, this rock was spewed out
in a volcanic eruption, discovered, cleaned, polished and prepared
into a beautiful diamond. In a metaphorical sense, each one of us
is a diamond, and through all of the pressures of the pandemic, we
have strengthened our character and determination to make us
unstoppable."
The second "R" to recalibrate your life to align with your core
values is a repeated theme in Guest's book, which has been printed
and sold in five languages, i.e., English, Traditional Chinese,
Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Korean.
"We have never been closer to the end of the pandemic than we
are now," said Guest. "Living in isolation is the perfect time to
reconnect with your core values to determine who you really are,
what life means to you and what values will serve as your
foundation going forward.
"In reality, most of us have never been given the gift of
extended time to assess like we have now. Using this to determine
what matters most to you is a huge life bonus. Recalibrating
habits, thoughts and daily duties to define who you are will
benefit you and those around you for the rest of your life."
Drawn from a lifetime of networking and leading a global
company, Guest cites the third "R" as valuing relationships.
"Nothing is more important than relationships," said Guest,
chairman and CEO of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), a
billion-dollar company operating in 24 markets worldwide. "Today I
have friends and colleagues in countries and cultures around the
world, and each are important to me. I learned long ago that
treating others with the utmost respect and kindness is a key to
success and makes life more harmonious for everyone.
"The pandemic has reminded us of things that matter most, and
relationships with others is at the top of the list as we connect
with God, family, friends, coworkers and so forth. Over the last
year, we have felt a loss of connection with others, and because
humans are naturally social beings, relationship-building is one of
the key factors that will help us emerge strong from the
pandemic."
Guest believes those simple patterns of behavior can help us
power through the pandemic and lift each other to higher levels of
harmony in life in a post-pandemic world.
"I've never seen Kevin make a selfish decision," said country
music star Collin Raye, who wrote
the forward in All the Right Reasons and frequently invites
Guest to play with his band on tour, including multiple times at
the Grand Ole Opry. "He thinks of his family, his friends, and his
associates at USANA and always tries to put others first."
All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a
Life in Harmony is available on Amazon. All proceeds feed
hungry children, with each book purchase providing 40 meals.
