Looking for Daffodils

We are beginning to see the signs of spring! After what seemed like a cold winter, the grass begins to green, the Bradford Pears start showing white, the forsythia bloom, and the daffodils come out. It seems to me that this year the Daffodils were the first and most obvious sign of the coming warmer temperatures and longer days. A first movement in the symphony of spring….
With current economic news ever present in our media and minds, there is a tendency to hibernate, hole up, cocoon, or withdraw from the confident enthusiasm that drives our personal and business results. Not for a moment trivializing the real problems with which we have to contend, nevertheless, fixation on those problems hinder the formation of solutions.
Perhaps you need to see some daffodils in your business, some signs of the coming spring. I trust they are already there, waiting, if we look patiently and positively around us as we drive along.
So as you move about this week, going from place to place, look for the yellow by the roadside and think of the color in your life. Begin to see the spring and get excited about the coming opportunities.
