Blue Sky.

No matter what, the blue sky is always there.

It’s a great metaphor for seeing through difficult situations and times.

No matter how heavy the storm, how thick the layer of clouds, or how heavy the precipitation is, the blue sky is always there.

How do I know?

A matter of experience. Throughout my life and very recently.

Recently. I was lucky to spend a week of vacation recently in a country with many blue skies.

Because I travel a lot and don’t mind the loyalty points that come with it, I could spend a significant amount of points on a luxury destination somewhere warmer.

My wife and I chose the Maldives for our cold winter interruption.

While I don’t believe in bucket lists, this beautiful part of the world has been a dream destination for a while.

It was a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

My senses were running on all cylinders that week.

There was so much inspiration around me that I saw another idea wherever I looked.

That’s what happens when you find yourself in an inspiring environment.
