 Taking aligned action isn’t always what’s on your agenda.

Sometimes life throws us a curveball and it’s about being able to handle and adapt to the unexpected.

If you’re aligned with your values and your mission you will be able to react quickly and efficiently with aligned action when you face your next plot twist.

It’s hard to give up control and go with the natural flow of events. It’s the turbulent times as well as the quiet times that enable us to grow.

As a child I was raised on a farm and one of the biggest takeaways wasn’t the circle of life with the farm animals, it was the grow process of what was planted in the fields.

We grew elephant garlic and there were seasons to the harvest. Planting the seeds, nurturing then until the shoots started to burst through the soil. Then continuing to nurture the shoots until they were ready to harvest. After harvesting we sold the garlic and the process repeated itself.

This process is symbolic in everything we do. I had a book as a child… God made a time… and it was about the quiet times and the busy times. The good times and bad times which are true in the ups and downs of our daily lives.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy nor is the journey straightforward but it’s the trusts and turns that keep it interesting and us inspired to keep moving forward.

We all go through the seasons of change - the quiet times when our souls goes through the hibernation of winter, spring when seeds that were planted start to blossom, each of us has our time to shine like the summer sun and a season for harvesting and shedding like the leaves falling in the autumn.

Often times the most profound transformation comes in the silent periods when things seem still and nothing is happening. It’s both the noise and the quiet that write the symphony. It’s both the blank canvas and paint that creates an artistic masterpiece. And it’s the rest and movement that brings your next breakthrough, the time to reflect and gain the wisdom, insight and clarity you love forward confidently and take bold action towards your next goals.
