The Midwest is beaming with anticipation of the sweet smell of spring. This part of the country has been under layers of snow and cold for over 4 months and today we received a taste of what is to come. There's another taste of what is to come when people can overcome tragic events in their lives and persevere. Perseverance is one of the keys to finding what makes you happy and at peace.
All to often in life when bad events happen lives are changed and it is hard for individuals to move on to create a better life. It is difficult to see good in bad things, but just as the cold weather will turn to warm sunshine in the Midwest so too will the lives of people once they dig deep within to persevere. In order to persevere one must become focused and diligent. There is no room for blaming others or circumstances when bad events arrive. Once the grief passes there is only room for focused, diligent actions to find a better way and a better place.
Each of us has a different place to begin our perseverance journey. Some have an uncanny ability to flow effortlessly from tragic events focusing on the good while others need to find themselves and slowly move towards the sweet smell of spring. No matter what place you are in take time for the sweet smell of spring!
