Our team often reflect on how nature helps us navigate life when things get tough. This week, Deborah from our Kew Hub shared a beautiful thought about Wimbledon....
With Wimbledon in full swing (excuse the pun), together with its strawberries and cream, distinctive grass courts and celebrity spectators, it's all heating up, quite literally!
Even if you don't follow tennis, the sight is familiar. Beyond the scoreboard, every player is battling something far less visible: perhaps self-doubt, maybe frustration and almost certainly, pressure.
Nowhere is that clearer than at 40-all the umpire calls, "Deuce". The crowd gasps and suddenly, the game has changed. The rules have shifted. The players are no longer just one point away from success, but two consecutive points from winning or losing. Progress feels slower and much harder.
But from deuce there is always hope 💫
If you feel stuck today, or find this week harder than last, here's the interesting thing; real progress rarely accompanied by fanfare. It's quiet and gradual, and full of small victories: getting out of bed, opening the door and stepping outside.
So remember, even when you slip back to deuce, you still have everything to play for 🎾
