International Holidays

Are you so busy in your own life, town, region, or country that you do not consider international holidays? We are all busy, right? Some days are simply chaotic for many. This article is a reminder to consider what is happening in other countries. 


Everything from news cycles, celebrities, holidays, trends and much more can vastly differ from country to country. We can all get a little self-absorbed when it comes to day to day activities, caught up in our own little worlds. 


Today, take a five-minute break to consider what is happening outside of your regular frame of reference. Many leaders, creatives, and thinkers can benefit from tapping into the global pulse and to push boundaries a little further from the norm. 


Consider what holidays, calendars, trends are happening outside of your country that could be worthwhile spending a little time on. To understand more, to be more educated on a certain topic and to see how this can be used to help your current position and viewpoint. 


When we take the time to pause and look up from our world, many new worlds and areas can come into focus. Different cultures, calendars, religions, regions, and industries can operate differently in numerous parts of the world. 


How can this enrich and benefit your current position, what happens when you think a little broader and focus a little more internationally?
