If you're in the middle of a storm, here's some perspective for you...
When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." Haruki Murakami
Whatever your "storm" may be, when you're in the middle of it, the one thing that you're definitely missing is perspective. The ability to understand that this will pass. That every storm you weather becomes a story you tell later. That the lessons you gain from the storm can be life altering.
You gain wisdom when you're open to moving through something knowing that it's temporary and...everything is temporary.
I feel like I've recently come out of a hurricane and here are some of the things I've noticed that may be helpful for you:
You're not necessarily going to notice it right away.
When you get used to something you can lose perspective.
It may be a slow realization...the wind has subsided and the sun's coming out.
It can creep up slowly.
There's a wash of relief that may come over you.
The day you thought would never come, did.
I'm filled with gratitude right now. I know I'm in the right place, that I made a good decision. I chose well. Despite the storm that came with it.
Here's the thing about choice, it doesn't mean that it comes without challenges...the "storms"...and it's remembering that deep down, there's a reason for the choices you make.
Despite the sometimes inevitable storms, your decisions, your choices, are yours to make and you're far more capable than you think.
In the middle of a storm right now?
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Are you in the middle of a storm right now? It's hard to have perspective when you're in the middle of something.
Get perspective.
For you, that may look like asking for help from a friend, partner, or co-worker.
Sharing the storm can make it less daunting.
Look for the glimmers.
No matter the storm, there will always be glimmers if you look closely.
Maybe it's a small win with your kid, your boss, yourself.
Know that this is temporary.
I'll repeat that for you...this is temporary.
All things eventually subside, settle, pass.
Remember: "When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." Haruki Murakami
This is the gift of the storm. Becoming the stronger, more resilient "you"...the person you never would have discovered without this storm. Remember that.
