Wednesday Wisdom, Inspiration, Motivation for Women Entrepreneurs, Females
We’ve heard it all our lives: “Seize the Day or Carpe Diem” – with the meaning of making the most of your life at this moment. Like you, this exact moment out my window looks like the tundra with whipping winds and ice remnants flying through the air, crashing into my window, providing an interesting array of musical notes for the day. It is hard to enjoy.
As despair tries to set in, I notice advertisements for spring clothes, tulip orders, and fertilizer in my feed. What I would give for planting some tulips with fertilizer while donning spring clothes right now. But the point is, spring is just around the corner if we hang in there mentally and physically.
We open our pool exactly two months from today. It seems crazy at the moment that this is possible, but it is. Just like when we closed our pool in early October, thinking there was no way the first snowflake could fall within one month, it did. Time moves fast.
Although this Wednesday, Wisdom isn’t about business, it is about our lives and how we get through the tough times. Whether it’s freezing temperatures, blazing hot summers, times of sadness or happiness, we get by, we survive, we live on. So even if the picture outside your window is bleak, you know in a few more tomorrows it will be green, just like the beer flowing on St. Patrick’s Day.
Today’s inspiration is to lift your spirits simply. I see and hear from many people who can’t take one more day of brutal cold. I hear you, so this one is for you. I hope you’ll take my lead and not seize the day since it might seize your heart into an attack trying to shovel snow, but rather look forward two months from now when irises bloom, robins look for worms, white turns to green, and our spirits are free to soar again outside. I promise you it will be here before we know it.
