Monday Motivation: Dress Appropiately.

The summer is hot. Summer is not the time to wear boots, heavy winter coats, wool hats and long-johns. If you saw someone rocking a NorthFace Parka in 90 degree weather, you would probably call the police because that person just might be crazy or high on something (Unless it was Kim Kardashian). You make sure that your clothes fit the season, mainly so you don’t die from heatstroke or hypothermia.

You are smart enough to change your clothes to fit the season outside, but how often do you change your actions to fit the season that you are in within your own life? Seasons outside are easy to tell. Winter is cold. Summer is hot. The seasons in your life is a little less discernible. In order to tell what season you are in within your own life requires you to be more attentive to the moments, situations and people that encompass you.

What worked for you last year may not work for you this year. Many of us don’t adapt to the change quick enough, and get stuck wearing the wrong thing in the wrong season. Once a season in your life changes, you have to grow from them lesson learned in the previous season, and leave some mistakes in the past for good.

There are levels to this thing called life. Once you go to the next level, you have to be ready for tougher circumstances — “New levels, new devils” the saying goes. This means that your discipline, work ethic and spirituality must constantly grow, never sit stagnant. You have to be willing to self-reflect and make immediate changes, because that winter jacket that you wore last year will only cause you pain this summer.

The solutions that helped you through prior similar situations can’t always help you in the future, so you have no choice but to adapt and grow in order to discover new ways to reach your goals. Learn to decipher the season that you are in within your life, and let go off whatever is within you that does not fit your current season, whether it’s people, action or mindsets.

Happy #MondayMotivation!
