Did you know that there are about 10,000 regular three-leaf clovers for every lucky four-leaf clover? Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck.St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday to celebrate all things Irish. But this year, don’t just celebrate the holiday, put some green into it and get in the spirit.
As a professional consultant, I work with businesses and individuals to bring eco awareness into daily living by transforming traditional habits to more sustainable ones. With that being said, let's look at what each clover on a 4 leaf clover looks like as a sustainability concept transformed.
Hope: Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. With the over saturation of negative media today, it's easy to loose sight of good things to come. Identify areas in your life or business that have an environmental impact and that you are also willing to change and improve. Look at going paperless at home or in your office, perhaps improving stakeholder impressions changing for the better or family members and neighbors feeling good about taking environmental action.
Love: Find appreciation in what is working in your life and your business. Have you noticed that what you focus on expands? Why not appreciate a job well done? Share and reach out in your community. Businesses extend latitude towards customers and vendors. Love your life, your business, and love our planet.
Luck: Create your own pot of gold. The actions we take today create our tomorrow. Invest in sustainability concepts in your business and your life for a better tomorrow: waste reduction, energy efficiency, recycling programs, water conservation, community involvement, sustainable businesses practices, living a sustainable lifestyle and invest in socially responsible investing.
This St. Patrick's Day, create a little magic! Ignite a little spark! Make things happen for you, your business, and your environment. Put the green in your life and expect extraordinary results.
