Sunbeams and Screwtops

1/13/2017

While planning my Toastmasters Club's meeting earlier this week, I had the opportunity to incorporate two "Life Lessons for 2017" into my talk.  I chose to share "Sunbeams and Screwtops".  

What do sunbeams and screwtops have to do with each other or how to look at the coming year?  Glad you asked!

I LOVE sunbeams -- those beautiful rays of light that come down through the clouds.  But do you know what sunbeams are?  They are sunlight reflecting off particles in the air -- pollution, smog, dirt, water, etc.  Yuck!  

Life Lesson from Sunbeams:  If we didn't have the "bad stuff" in our lives, we wouldn't be able to see the beauty that can come from it. 

And then there are those pesky screwtop water bottles.  I just purchased three new water bottles...and the lids never screw on tightly the first time.  But I have learned that pushing harder does not make it fit any better.  It just make a mess and gets me frustrated.  Instead, I have to stop, unscrew it a bit, then move forward. It works every time!

Life Lesson from Screwtops:  When obstacles get in our way, or something isn't a good fit, sometimes pushing harder isn't the answer.  Sometimes you need to stop, take a few steps back, then approach it from a different angle.

I wish you nothing by success and happiness.  But just in case "life happens", remember these lessons from sunbeams and screwtops.
