Thank you for reading. Looks like the the followers list is growing, hopefully it grows a little more. As long as this blog continues to help people, I will continue to write.
Recently, a cold from from Alaska hit good old Reno. This reminded me of how fast the seasons can change. So, how is this going to help you? Understand the Seasons.
The Reason for the four seasons is not just to keep the scenery different. The seasons change so you have constant reminders that you need to get things done.The seasons change to take away that familiarity that you build comfort with. If it was always sunny, then you would find yourself taking it for granted. Furthermore, you would find yourself expecting sunny weather everyday. This deters from the goal of developing an attitude of Gratitude.
Could you see yourself being grateful for the sunny days, if you weren't forced to live in a couple of cloudy days?
Would you be thankful for the rainy days, if you weren't stuck in a scorching hot day outside?
My point is this. The Seasons change for one reason. To measure your progress!
Two ways that you can interpret something. To your benefit or to your disadvantage. Your power of perception will be the deciding factor in how these changed affect you. Choose how you want to feel and then be in awe of the changes.
you can feel the rain coming sometimes. The air seems to be heavier and thicker, there is moisture in the air, and you can literally feel the ions in the air moving around.
Listen to this little snippet from the late Jim Rohn:

In closing, Be grateful for the changes that happen in your life. Feel excited when the seasons change. Do not focus on the times that you had, but the times that you are going to have. The only animal on this earth that can look to the future, and create a compelling future, is the homo sapien. Birds, alligators, fish, do not plan out their life to see what they can be. They are so focused on being reactive to their situation. Separate yourself from the animals. Be grateful for rain when you are being rained on. Breathe in the thicker air when you have a chance to. Tech yourself how to be happy when everyone else is complaining...and let your smile light up the dark life of someone else.
Here's to you,
JC
