How Long Does A Storm Last By Catherine Pulsifer © 2009 I sat on our swing watching the clouds move in. I was thinking about some of the challenges in our life right now. The dark clouds looked like some of the issues facing us at this time. Then a patch of blue sky appeared in the clouds, the sun was trying to come out. I smiled as I saw the patches of blue sky; it focused my thoughts on all the good things that were in our life right now. When you see those patches of blue sky you feel better, your attitude changes, you realize that while there are challenges there is also a lot of positive in your life. The weather is a good analogy to our lives. We all have experienced the sunny days, the stormy days, and the overcast days. In our lives, the sunny days represent good times. The storms are the challenges we all face, and the overcast days are days when things are just mediocre. We need the storms, the overcast days to help us appreciate the sunny days. If it was sunny every day then we would start taking it for granted. In our lives, we need the challenging times to make us appreciate the good times, and they help us grow and learn. And, on the overcast days we can see the sun trying to peek through the clouds and we can focus on the hope that the storm is breaking up, or we can chose to focus on only the clouds. Well, our lives all have storms, but the most important thing is that we have hope for sunnier days. Our attitude will determine what we see, and more importantly, what we focus on. If our focus is only on the storm we will not get beyond it. But, if we focus and hope for a sunnier day then our attitude can become one of moving forward, getting beyond where we are now. There is a solution to every problem. Inspirational sayings like, "this to shall pass", or, "every problem has a gift for you in its hand", are ones we need to remember for the stormy days in our lives. How long the storm lasts in our lives depends on our own attitude and focus; the more positive our attitude, the shorter the storm. While we can't control the weather, we can control our attitude and focus. |
