Like a tree, your professional life goes through different seasons. Sometimes, results will bloom, and for other periods, they’ll dry out.
When people can only see the bare branches, it’s your roots that’ll keep you grounded.
Your experience and learning efforts will continue to nourish you, allowing you to keep working even when the results start to fade, like leaves falling in autumn.
When the cold days of winter make you feel like the good old times are gone, the lessons you’ve learned will keep you standing strong and provide you with the resilience to face these tough periods.
Then, your hard work will show through when you start flourishing again in spring, bearing new fruits that may attract more people to you.
But most importantly, you’ll be able to offer shelter to those who may need it during the hot summer days.
Never forget that the part most people don’t see is the most important part of your story.
