Concern about one’s ability and how to overcome challenges will ‘cloud’ one’s effort until realization hits for their next steps forward. If it weren’t for the blockages or ‘clouds,’ the new vision might never materialize. That’s why we offer insights below, as it’s time to admire the beauty of the clouds.

‘The Great Outdoors’
The great outdoors can stimulate our thinking and increase the practice of observation. Accordingly, the creative side of our brain goes to work conjuring up ideas for future work, whether for career or business. Cloud formations, wildlife, natural growth, beaches, and the diverse colors we see can bring a smile, lift our spirits, and give us hope for better days ahead when we’re feeling down.
Life Ups and Downs: Two Sides Always
Joni Mitchell sang the lyrics, ‘Both Sides Now’:
‘Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that wayBut now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way.’
The last two lines of the lyrics are telling in all regards. My motto is, ‘live life without regret’. The bottom line is to pause and admire the clouds we may face, which can help uncover an idea that moves us upward.
Excuses Don’t Fly
Unlike a bird flying away, excuses do the opposite as people see through them, causing one to fall through the floor, so to speak. We hear about ‘rare’ coins, opportunities, and more, but sooner or later, those making excuses or not revealing the truth ultimately stand in the limelight, again falling through the cracks.
How to Soar
Weigh the pros and cons of the issues upfront. To begin, focus on the one problem that will enable enthusiasm for your work to return. The process starts by identifying and listing all possible measures to reconcile the matter. Next to each, list the potential outcomes.
Repeat the above for each issue as it arises and list the unique steps to take to resolve it and move beyond. Consider your long-term vision and whether it needs to be updated as well. Next, consider whether you are up to date with the latest technological advancements and how you may incorporate them for the better.
Fly Higher with Your Flock
No matter one’s line of work, it is always possible to share our best findings with our peers, collaborators, audience, and community at large. Moreover, as people observe you sharing your best, some will share your insights with their audience, introductions will come forth, and remarkably, business will begin expanding to have you flying higher than previously thought possible, ultimately.
Reach for the Stars and the Moon
Nothing is impossible when we try something beyond the imagination of most. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon, followed by Buzz Aldrin. His famous quote is, ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ Not only did the men model ‘the impossible,’ but the quote showcases what one person may accomplish to the benefit of many.
Conclusion: Admire the Beauty of the Clouds for Business Growth
Disregarding our environment on so many levels only harms us individually and collectively. By striving to encompass the best of what we observe, we can gain a deeper understanding of how to improve our efforts and collaborate with like-minded peers to achieve advancements we didn’t initially foresee. It’s wise to seek out the ‘beauty’ in what we see and know to enjoy a better tomorrow.
