We’ve been fortunate
to have quite a few
bumble bees
in our neighborhood.
Bumble bee numbers
have been decreasing
significantly
the world over.
So a rebound in
their numbers
is something to be celebrated.
And it should be celebrated.
Because that rebound
was due to people taking action.
Pesticides were banned.
Dandelions were left
to grow.
Leaves were left
for the bumble bees
to winter in.
If we don’t celebrate
this success,
along with pointing out
that not everyone is seeing
the same success,
people will stop
taking these actions.
This, of course,
applies to business building
also.
People want to know
their actions
result in successes.
Celebrate your successes.
And acknowledge the hard work
that drove those successes.
