Springtime

By Allen Lyle

Today, Spring is a time of renewal and new life, but not just for nature! It’s a great time to re-examine ourselves and “put a fresh coat of paint” on our goals and directions.

TRANSCRIPT:

Here we are already into the third month of 2024. Within a couple of weeks, we’ll be celebrating the arrival of Spring. For many people, this is a highly anticipated and welcomed event following what seems to them to have been the endless drudgery of a cold, dull, gray and gloomy winter. Springtime, with its gentle warmth and vibrant blossoms, can serve as a powerful catalyst for personal transformation. As nature awakens from its winter slumber, so too does the human spirit. The vivid colors, fragrant blooms, and longer days inspire a sense of optimism and rejuvenation. In essence, Spring becomes a metaphorical canvas where we find ourselves motivated to paint a new or a renewed direction for our lives. Springtime has a way of inspiring hope and fresh starts, so as this new season approaches, be excited…. Search for things in your life you want to improve…. Write down the things you need to change…. not eventual change, but immediate change. Then, make a plan and put it into action. I think it was author Mandy Hale who said it best: “Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”
