The word ENTERPRISE can be daunting, yet to reflect for a moment and apply the word to a person makes it real and easy to understand. For example, my brother has a carer who visits him most days. He is a retired teacher who spends most of his time reading and writing poetry - he lives alone.
His need for a carer came about when it was almost impossible to gain access to his house /his home, not just because of medical needs, but because of his attachment to books etc. Such a shame. He would say people don't call, yet difficulty for entry made it un-inviting, and a good reason for not visiting.
Then Noeleen came along, a good carer with respect and admiration for his ability to write poetry, and even patience to listen to him. He welcomed her visits and began to take her advice, especially about decluttering. Perhaps, some of his precious books could be donated to a Library? Old clothes could be replaced, making it easier to accept invitations to go out when possible, to visit family.
When I paid a visit, I was so surprised to find a chair to sit on, and a table with room for a cup and biscuit, as long as I was careful not to spill.
Wow! Perhaps being enterprising is simply about finding the correct way to deal with situations that come our way!
