There's an inherent rhythm to life, just as there is to nature. Mountains rise, valleys dip and the journey continues. It's tempting to see the "highs" as the ultimate goal, clinging desperately to their peaks. But as this quote elegantly reminds us, every ascent is followed by a descent – it's simply the law of physics, and ignoring it only sets us up for a harsher fall.
This isn't a cause for despair, but an invitation to reframe our perspective. Valleys, rather than representing failure or stagnation, become strategic opportunities for recalibration and growth.
The tail end of 2023 felt like a valley, everything was a little flat, but 2024 started with a gradual climb in Jan, with a great trade show and getting to meet customers. Feb now has the feeling of the excitement of the climb is kicking in, activity is on the rise, fantastic new blood into the business, the excitement around innovation, fantastic sustainability offerings and new eco accreditations to make sure the mountains we do climb are left as close to its natural beauty for those who follow.
For those in a valley right now, just remember that any decent is always followed with an ascent it is just the law and the other fundamental law is time never stands still, so it will come, just make sure you take the time to take in the views.

This is great work Kevin. In 2024 to help me and others reach their goals I’m starting a mastermind group.
