If you walk into a target the first part of February, the Valentine's Day merchandise has been there for weeks. If you have young daughters, the daddy-daughter dance is squarely circled on the calendar. If you consume any sort of media, the advertisements are about how to tell your spouse that you care about them. February, in all its cold winter splendor is referred to as the "Love Month" in so many ways. So your friends at Insurance For Texans have a question to pose. What is the best way that you can tell your family that you love them?
Now that March and the spring season is starting to approach, we don't want to overshadow an annual American tradition which appears to have taken a backseat to the Super Bowl, an even larger event which happened on the same day, February 2nd.
Groundhog Day
You guessed it, we're talking about Groundhog Day, that Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania tradition of a groundhog named Phil determining whether or not we can expect a longer winter or an onrushing spring by noticing (or not noticing) its shadow. The legend goes like this . . . if Phil the groundhog sees his shadow, we can expect more winter. If no shadow, spring has arrived, meteorologically speaking that is .
Though the celebrated tradition has been around since the late 1800's, Bill Murray did a great job of burning the title Groundhog Day and movie character Phil Connors into our psyche as the man of a thousand days who finally learns after constant repetition how not to be a jerk.
Phil learns the hard way that life is about more than he thought it was. He is unable to move beyond a single day, waking up to find himself destined to repeat Groundhog's Day in Punxsutawney over and over.
He initially treats the day with anger, with vice, with depression and finally, with empathy.
We won't give away spoilers in the odd case you are one of the ten people who haven't seen the movie yet.
However, what we take from the movie (other than a horrible caricature of a life insurance salesman in the form of Ned Ryerson) is a healthy understanding that life is precious and the people you share it with are not to be taken for granted.
Where Life Insurance Comes In
It doesn't take long for Phil Connors to understand he's stuck in a loop. With no way of knowing if his cyclical journey will be only for a moment of eternity, he decides to make changes knowing that he at least has control over that. That decision parallels trying to choose between the types of life insurance available to you, term or permanent.
We have the same ability to make good choices, especially if they will have a positive effect for the people, organizations and causes that are dear to us. It could be the elimination of outstanding debt, paying off student loans, covering funeral expenses, or making sure that your family doesn't experience financial hardships when you can no longer provide for them.
If anything should happen to us to keep us from being here to provide financial safety, we will want to continue being able to provide for them through solid choices we previously made. The easiest way to do that is through a death benefit of some kind of life insurance policy.
One of the best, and lowest cost, forms of protection that Texans can find is a life insurance policy. It doesn't matter whether you choose term life insurance or permanent life insurance, a guaranteed death benefit will provide financial stability for those you love.
