WEATHERING THE STORM.


"Hey, are you lonely, do you feel like the odd one out, do you need a hug! Don't look at me am not offering am just asking". Why are you looking all puzzled, ooh you thought I was making an offer.  No I wasn't, it was just a thought that had crossed my mind. Anyway don't look all glum, today is a new day that is peeling itself like a banana. 

Let me ask you, is there something new that you have learnt in the past few days that have sailed through? It is okay you don't have to answer me.  One thing I have realised about this life is that no matter how hard things seem to be, there will always be something good coming just around the corner. 

Right now you may be going through something that hurts a lot & you are trying your best to forget about it, what I can beg of you is that though you want to erase the hurt never forget what it taught you. The thing about when the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through & how you managed to survive. 

You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over or if it is yet to brew afresh again. One thing that will be certain is that when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That is what this storm is all about. There is an important lesson to be remembered when you are having a bad day, a bad month, or a catastrophic year. 

Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. Sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you have felt heartache. You can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you know what it's like to feel tainted & unworthy. 

I truly believe that everything that we do & everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we are all teachers - if we are willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts & not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.
