Eureka! I have discovered the fountain of youth, such a wonder in itself (just kidding, am still searching in the very depths of the earth for this magnificence). The myth of its existence still lives on & maybe one day we shall get to experience the wonders of this magical fountain (but am not keeping my hopes up for that happening any time soon). In life each & every one of us faces a storm designed for our own kind of weather.
It is said that an entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. The negativity occasioned by the world in the form of woes can't put you down unless you allow it to get to you. Weathering the storm, is in all likeness, one facing the greatest hurdles that are in every day living but paving a way even in the toughest of times, for there are times when you are bombarded with stressful situations from all sides that you nearly snap like a twig.
How can one bear all this yet at times we fell broken, crushed & beyond recovery. I will tell you how, at times we need to take a chill pill, regroup & get our reinforcement from the barracks by arming ourselves with heavy artillery in the form of faith, hope & persistence. It was quoted in the spider-man movie that "with great powers comes great responsibilities". Sometimes you just need to bow your head, say a prayer & weather the storm.
If you spend your whole life waiting to calm the storm, you will always be in a losing battle & never get the chance to enjoy the sunshine. We need to realize that after every storm the sun will smile, for in every problem there is a solution & the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer. Remember that you can never achieve anything unless you take action, no matter how good your ideas may be.
You can always wait until conditions are perfect before starting to take action towards achieving your goals. But unfortunately conditions will never be perfect, some factor will be missing. So what will happen, is that you keep putting off any action on your part. Procrastination will set in & your chances of progress will at best be delayed & possibly eliminated altogether. Instead "learn to dance in the rain".
"The wise man in the midst of the storm prays to God, not for safety from danger but deliverance from fear".
