The Impending Storm

The forecast calls for some bad weather ahead.  Whenever that happens, I get some natural feelings of apprehension.  What is going to happen?  Will we be okay?  Is everything ready that we might need?  What if……..?

Then I stop myself and remember that we have a very reasonable supply of all we really need to stay safe and well.  I also realize that whatever happens, we will emerge again into good weather at some point soon.  We will pick up the pieces, repair, and re-set.  I focus on my mindset and my energy, and I purposely shift them both.

It helps me personally to recall past storms, not only in weather, but also in business and life.  I focus on remembering and all the ways we survived those past storms and, in some cases, even thrived!  Sometimes the darkest of days remind us of possibilities and help us find silver linings that were there all along, we just could not recognize them in the bright sunshine.

The stormy days will pass.  We will be better and stronger ahead soon.  We will help our friends and neighbors as they strive to get through as well.  It is time now to stay strong and prevail!

What has been your reaction on the stormy days in your business, career, or life?    How can recollection of past storms strengthen you?  What can you do to not only survive but thrive?!  Contact me to discuss.
