Spring is a great time to reflect on the various cycles of life. Spring brings forth new growth, renewal, and, of course, the beautiful blossoms on our plants. The April Challenge by Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543, presented us with a unique challenge to share how we are blooming. As a gardener, Spring is my favorite time of year.
There are many lessons that come from nature and gardening. To reap the beauty of the blossoms, there are a lot of preparations and work that must take place. These preparations can easily be utilized in our work lives and our personal lives.
🌸 PLANNING ~ A serious gardener begins planning their garden months before the planting season. Decisions about the seeds, placement, and soil preparation must be considered. When we take the time to plan, future growth and blossoms are certainly more attainable.
          
🌸 LABOR ~ While planning is imperative if it is not followed up by hard work, the planning will be for naught. A gardener will spend hours cleaning out planting areas, bringing in new soil, removing weeds, and then planting. After the hard work, the promise of new growth is the reward.
      
🌸 PERSEVERE ~ Along with the labor, a continued effort is needed. The plants will need constant and consistent care. Pruning, feeding, pest control, and adequate watering will be necessary. When we are persistent in our goals, we are presented with beautiful flowers to enjoy, scrumptious fruit and vegetables, and, the majesty of trees and shrubs to grace our homes.
       
🌸 REPETITION ~ A good gardener understands the importance of being consistent with what works and what does not. And, of course, practice, trial and error, and being willing to try new things are sound advice for anyone.
How are you blooming in your life and business? Remeber that all good things take time, patience, and persistence. Here's to a booming blooming Spring! 🌸
