Every one of us must eventually face the storm by Bryant McGill The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the stormcomes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, don't run from your pain — run into your pain. Let life's storm shatter you. The beauty of being shattered is how the shards become our character and our marks of distinction. This is how we are refined by our pain. When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again. The storm gives us the gift of our defining choices. You will be a different person after the storm, because the storm will heal you from your perfection. People who stay perfect and unblemished never really get to live fully or deeply. You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser and more alive than ever before! You see, it is our pain that connects us to all of the most beautiful parts of life. Love is such a marvellous pain. Birth, death and suffering show us the essence of life and teach us so perfectly what is most important and precious. We are all made complete by our pain. When the storm of life comes howling and raging outside your window; when you look that tempest in the eye, there will be a quickening in your instincts. In that moment you will burn with aliveness. Your total intelligence knows exactly what to do, because you were made to weather the storms of life. You will survive, and both you and the world will be transformed. "When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm is all about." — Haruki Murakami Top photo by Matthew Kosloski - Unsplash.com Photo by Ray Harrington - Unsplash.com 25 Ottubru-Diċembru 2024 hajja
