If you are on the East Coast like me, you’ve likely been enjoying April-like weather in December and January. This reminds me of something Jim Rohn says. He says life is like the seasons of weather.
We cannot choose the seasons we are in. There can be hard winters, pretty springs, hot summers and like right now, seasons when you just can’t figure it out.
There are all kinds of winters – the “winter” when you can’t figure it out, the “winter” when everything seems to go haywire. There are economic winters, social winters and personal winters. Wintertime can bring disappointment, and disappointment is common to all of us. So you must learn how to handle the winters. You must learn how to handle difficulty; it always comes after opportunity. You must learn to handle recessions; they come right after expansions. That isn’t going to change.
Isn’t that inspiring? We must all go through our winters. Some are easy, some are difficult. But figuring out how to handle the tough ones is what is important.
However, some of us are getting spring in January this year.
Rohn says we must always take advantage of our springs. A spring can come anytime. They represent the high-times of our lives. The times when we are most motivated, full of enthusiasm and at the top of your game.
So if you, like me and find yourself in an unexpected spring this January, take advantage!

Same over here in the Southwest!
It’s funny, we ended up with snow today.
