Saturday has come, and for the first time in a while, the weather is as if God himself wanted everyone that planned on staying at home to go outside and enjoy the splendor of the world he had created.
So many spirits are lifted when the weather is good. But why is the weather sometimes good and sometimes bad?
Any economics major, or lay person will know that scarcity creates value. The less of something that there is a demand for, will create value in something. Why would you see value in the summer, if it was summer all of the time?
People really only understand value when you understand that every good thing comes to an end. Kind of dark, but the way that you interpret it, can make for a very powerful day.
The seasons change very fast, like Jim Rohn says: "You cannot change the seasons, but you can change yourself." Below is a video link from the legend himself, Mr. Jim Rohn.

So if you know that the seasons are always changing, and that you may find yourself wearing shorts, when you should be wearing pants....you must make a commitment to lead an different type of life.
The Contrarian code shows that contrarians are those that are able to think about what their summer will be like when it is winter outside. They protect their attitudes by understanding the seasons. When everyone is shopping for coats in the winter, contrarians already are wearing their coats that the purchased for a lesser price last summer.
How many people are in your life asking what they wanted to do, and how hard things were, and waiting for something to happen, so that they can start on what they really want to do?
I'm telling you, to not wait for something to come along...Which came first, the chicken or the egg? How many people have you heard engage in this useless conversation?
People ask me that question, and my reply is this: " All I know is that they are both delicious , and I am happy to eat them both when I am craving them."
You don't always have to know everything, or have all of your ducks in a row, or have everything organized, or have read all of the books, or whatever other excuse that we think that we need.
What you have to do is Live. Live with a standard of life that few dare to live. Be bold, Go out there, understand that things will not always be the same. That things will fall apart. Right when you feel that you have reached your limits, something comes along and totally opens your mindset. But do you believe that your challenges are blessings? Do you believe that your obstacles force you to grow? So embrace them with open arms.... Feel BLESSED that you have been challenged the way that you have been challenged. Your life is now more that others have lived.
The Seasons will always change. You cannot change them. Embrace it, focus on how o maximize your experiences in each season. Take advantage of the change rather than seeing it as a loss, and enjoy your new attitude and your life...and wonder what it feels like to discover things in yourself that you never knew existed.
To your success,
JC
