During the summer, there is plenty for the farmer to do. When is comes to your success, knowing life's seasons and how to respond REALLY affects what kind of a harvest (your success) you will receive. In life, school's out, and most people plan vacations for this time of year. The more light, warmer temperatures make sitting in a rocking chair and sipping lemonade seem like the best thing to do. FALL and a harvest follows Summer and how you spend your "Summer" becomes how you reap your Fall.
Summer is the BEST season to work on your diligence. Enjoying the warmer and sometimes more enjoyable temperaments is best balanced with pulling the weeds. Keeping mindful of the plan you set out in order to have a different kind of harvest means, keeping focused on the work at hand, when more distractions seems to present themselves. As you near higher levels of success, there are ALWAYS plenty of distractions to take you away from the job of tending to your harvest (success) to come.
Think of sports, it starts as PeeWee, moves to Jr league, then High School, Division1 and then Professional. With EACH tick UP in league, you can find more distractions. The potential distractions presented to a Professional FAR out number the distractions at the unsung PeeWee level. When your a fighter, and have become a Champion, what keeps you engaged after you've "made it?" Its Character. We experience and celebrate success, this is our Harvest. But the true Character is built when its dark and the invitation to remain in bed is most attractive. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, how will you navigate yours to Fall?
To your success!
