The tinder-dry dead grass left over from winter stayed around for quite a while, making fires difficult to stop in the surrounding countryside. And now, the light green shoots are turning to a brilliant emerald. I’m not crazy about rain, but I am thankful because we sure needed it.
I got to thinking that the grass and trees are not so dissimilar to us in regards to the recent economic cycles we have been experiencing; and I believe that although we are seeing some recovery, we are a long way from being out of the woods. Like an out of control fire, the worldwide economic crises has left quite the destruction in its wake. In general, the majority of the population seemed to be living beyond their means and were totally unprepared for the events that transpired.
Unfortunately, trees in a forest fire cannot get out of the way. When they get dry in their environment, they become fuel for the next unfortunate set of circumstances that come their way. And it is no different for us. When we get dry, and are not inspired in what we are doing; we just as easily become fodder for the next wave of destruction.
But we are fortunate because we can move and seek inspiration, like water that strengthens us from our very roots. The trees have no choice… but we do. Don’t let yourself dry out. Continually seek out sources of inspiration so that you as a business owner will be mentally healthy, well-watered, and resistant to misfortune.
