Spring is Coming, Right?

Why do the tougher seasons of life feel never ending?! It seems too natural to feel stuck in the less desirable seasons of life - feeling like it will always be cold/gray/slow/sad/hard or whatever other less than desirable thing we can insert here. I’ve had many conversations lately about this sentiment with friends, fellow business owners, customers, and I’ve been struck by how hard we are on ourselves.

It is so much easier to tell someone else that things will get better with time and really believe it. How can we infuse a bit of that same confidence we absolutely feel with others in ourselves and why don’t we feel that same sense of confidence in things staying good when they are good? We are so quick to be thinking of the future when things are great rather than relishing in the present goodness.

Here’s to having a bit more confidence in the sunshine/good times/warmth/busy-ness/fun/prosperity or whatever other positive thing we can insert here being on the horizon, to giving ourselves the same pep talks we give our loved ones (and believing it), and to being more present in the good times. New seasons are coming!
