If we compare meeting people to reading a book, when we do meet them it is somewhere within the chapters of their life and never at the beginning of that book. And just like reading, it’s hard to understand the complete story when you only arrived in the middle. Therefore, it’s important to take the time not to judge and instead ask questions so you can understand where they are coming from and what makes them who they are today.
What makes a person who they are is due to their history and circumstances but most of all, how they reacted and handled them. We all go through many transitions in life just like the seasons and the changes in weather conditions. Being Canadian and having 4 seasons to adjust to every few months makes me a person who can also adjust to life and the trials and tribulations that come my way. At least that’s what I aim to be like.
One season might be tougher than the last but it doesn’t define you and it’s all about perspectives.
This inspiring video is about perspectives and I wanted to share it with you. I really hope you take the 4 minutes to watch it so you become inspired too.
Happy Sunday everyone,
Much Love ❤
Jen

Persevering through tough times..
Whenever I come through a situation where perseverance is the required principle,I imagine a montage.A workout montage,to be precise.
For a really badass montage,you need to show a really badass transformation.
Imagine watching a workout montage of a guy who is already in shape,working out and getting even more in shape.Maybe not that great.
You don’t see any visible transformation.
But imagine a guy who is totally out of shape,and persevering through to get that ripped physique.You’d get goosebumps!!
Like this guy:
To have an amazing montage,the first step is to accept your winter season and embrace it.It sucks,but embrace it.
Embrace the suck!
Believe that the best part(the fall) of the montage is yet to come.
Winters test your faith,but that’s what perseverance is all about.
The struggle is what makes the final fruition in the fall that much sweeter.
“Challenges are what make life interesting.Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”
Great post Jen.I needed that post to give myself a pick-me-up:)

Hello Raja and thank you for visiting again, nice to see you and your comments. I’m so glad this post helped you when you needed it, this is part of the beauty of WordPress, people write inspiring and motivating blogs when things get tough and it can help both the writer and the reader 😉
I like what you said about the physical montage and transformation of the guy who perseveres. This is a great perspective and what an awesome quote, thank you for that I love quotes. I also think one of the big take-aways from the seasons is that when times are challenging like our winters, that’s the best time to learn those life lessons and when we learn we grow and develop which means we transform into something amazing. Thank you again for leaving such a great comment. 🙂 So happy it helped you.
