What Can You Learn From a Snow Storm
There Is A Lesson In Everything
Here I am in my office finishing up my day and when I look out I realize things have changed. When I came to work this morning it was 53 F and felt real nice out.
Now one of those cold winter cold fronts have moved in during the day. There is a freezing drizzle outside. Most people have elected to stay home instead of the usual Friday night festivities.
So what have I learned from a snow and ice storm.
I have learned sometimes no matter what you want you have to go-slow and be careful what you do. (Obvious)
That when things are hard you will not have near as much competition. (Not many people on the road)
When you do something when things are not good everyone notices. (Hit somebody when it is bad weather like this as there is people everywhere.)
That no one can make the decision for you to press forward. (I still have a 5-mile drive to get home)
That no one else really knows what you can and can't do no matter what they say. (Don't listen to the naysayers. Prove them wrong by doing what they say you cannot do.)
You control your destiny, you decide what tomorrow will be like, you decide to move forward or stay put.
Sometimes we will not move until it gets uncomfortable. (Bed and food are not here in the office. I have to move toward what I want.)
I believe there are important lessons in life just like there are lessons in life from this snowstorm.
So I am going to close the office down and slide on home.
Onward and Upward.

Bo, I've found that there's is definitely a lesson in everything as long as I'm able to pause long enough to see it.
When things don't go to plan or I sense I want to complain about something, as long as I'm able to be awake enough to ask what I'm meant to be learning from whatever the situation is, I always do.

The more I read what you write Mark the more I realize me and you have had many of the same lessons in life and look at many things the same way.
This post is a powerful analogy of moving forward, in your own way, at your own pace...just keep moving forward.
Thanks Bo! Sometimes we just need a little reason to push forward.
All the best,
Sue
Enjoyed your post, Bo! When we keep moving physically as well as with our work, it keeps the creativity going too. Onward!
Yes it does and it is harder to see little problems that do not matter anyway when you are moving forward.
Very good Bo, be careful. A real risk reward thing with these weather changes. Warm temps here caused fast snow melt, I know this because our apartment was flooded this morning. As I sit here, my feet squishing on the floor, wife's birthday tomorrow.
The sound of air blowers running (must run all weekend).
I thought Mother nature sometimes doesn't like if we make plans with out consulting with her!!! Ahh life goes on we will get thru this and laugh about it later.
Have a great weekend!
I like the part what you say you control your destiny, you decide what tomorrow would be like. In other words, start your day with the end in mind. Ehat powerful philosophy that can drive an individual to imaginary heights. Thank you for sharing this Bo.
Make it a great weekend!
Yes it can and especially if you carry the awareness through the day that what you are doing today is creating tomorrow.

You learned a lot, Bo. I especially like the one about the naysayers. I get that stuff a lot. Can't imagine why!
I was in a car traveling from Greeley to Grand Junction, Co, on Christmas Day, and the snow started to blow on the Vail pass; however, I was reassured by the snow plows that kept moving in from the exits.
Hope your "slide" home was successful.
It and it was a beautiful drive looking at the snow.
