Let the Wind Blow

There was a tree standing quietly in the forest.

One day, the wind came rushing in.
“Hey tree! I’m going to knock you over!”

The tree didn’t fight.
It didn’t panic.
It simply bent.
Gently.
Without drama.

Then fall came.
The tree’s leaves began to drift away.
But the tree didn’t cling.
It didn’t mourn.
It didn’t worry about what the squirrels might think.
It let go.
Knowing new leaves would come.

Trusting the rhythm of seasons.
That’s the wisdom of trees:

They don’t resist the wind.
They don’t cling to what’s meant to fall away.
They trust that spring will return.

Sales is the same.
Deals will fall.
Prospects will ghost.
Seasons will change.

Your job isn’t to fight it.
Or cling.
It’s to stay rooted.

Bend when needed.
Let go when it’s time.

And trust that new opportunities will grow when the time is right.
Trees don’t mourn winter.
They welcome spring.
You can too.
