Kim Gaskill reflects on joining a mastermind group and uses birds and wind as a metaphor for how people help each other grow. She encourages listeners to find people who lift them up and to be that supportive force for others.
It's a new day. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. Today is April 1st, April Fool's Day. I'm not joking today. I've got a lot of work to do and I'm joining a new mastermind group, so I have some things I need to prepare for that as well. And it got me thinking today about people who help other people. I'm looking out at the birds out in the yard today, and they're picking at the seeds underneath the trees. And it was windy earlier. It's died down a little bit now, but both of those things, the birds and the wind, they help trees grow. They help plants grow. They take the seeds, the birds eat them, swallow them, fly somewhere else, deposit them in new locations so they can grow. Wind does the same thing. It blows pollen and seeds to different locations where they can find a place to grow and thrive. If all the seeds from a tree stayed right under the tree, Many of them would not survive. They would not thrive because only a few would get enough nutrients and enough sun to be able to grow tall and strong. They'd get to a point where they would be blocked out by the other larger trees around them. So they need to be distributed into open new locations where they can take hold and grow and thrive. People are kinda like that too. We need people around us. We need wind. We need people to carry us to different places so that we can grow, so that we can thrive. Because sometimes we're smothered where we're at by circumstance or by other people or by events going on around us. So we need to get out. We need to get to a new location. We need help. Getting there. We need people to help us find those open areas where we can grow, those perfect spots where we can plant that seed and prosper. If you don't have those people in your life and in your business, I encourage you to go find those people. And if you do, good for you, but you need to go find people who need you. Because we all have that gift in us and we need to be that wind for other people. So if you have what you need and you have people helping you and putting you in locations where you can grow, look around and see if there are others that you can lift up, that you can carry to their best spot. Be their wind. And join me again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
