Dress For The Weather
Some of you know what it’s like to move from a cold climate to a warm one or vice versa. It’s a big change. And it takes time to get used to. For some of you who moved, may it be for love or a job, you’ll never get used to it.
Shaka Smart who is the basketball coach at Marquette knows this all too well. He moved from Texas to Wisconsin. He went from hot to cold. Best-selling author Ryan Holiday who is friends with Shaka Smart asked him, “so what kind of a guy are you? A warm weather guy or a cold weather guy?” Shaka responded with, “I’m a dress for the weather guy.”
This is a great example of simply being flexible. Adapting to your surroundings. Having a preferred indifference. Where you are in control of the most important part of your life, yourself. Your ability to decide, freely.
So how can you dress for the weather?
For the job you hate. The boss you cannot stand. For the challenging times with your kids or spouse. You may have a preference of your ideal conditions. However, conditions are never ideal. They flutter. Prepare yourself in advance. Dress for the weather.
Thought Provoking Questions : What is needed for you to adapt? For you to dress for the weather?
Daily I write and release a daily meditation. A quick read. Sharing wisdom and asking thought-provoking questions. Influenced by the obstacles, success and failures in my life and of others. Using history, books, current events, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. These writings are actionable, thought-provoking, designed to make your life better.
These writings are not to push a way of thinking on the reader or to force you into a certain philosophy or methodology. Rather to give you practical and real ways to handle life. This is an added tool. My writing is simply a discussion, a discourse, with all the material I read, watch, hear and consume.
