“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person that walked in. That’s what the storm is all about.”
-Haruki Murakami
We each have our own storms that we must endure throughout life and as we emerge out of the darkness, we are irrevocably changed. It is an undeniable fact that the person who walks into a storm will not be the same person who emerges on the other side. We cannot help but to be shaped by our experiences and by the scrapes, bruises and scars that cover our soul – our very essence. Now, whether this change is for the better or worse is for you to decide.
As you’re standing on the shore watching the storm clouds recede, you have a choice to make. You can choose to let the storm break you and become a shell of your former self. OR, you can CHOOSE to fight to put the pieces of your life back together and become stronger in preparation of the next storm that lurks behind the horizon. Okay, I get that this is much easier said than done. . .especially, when you are in the midst of your storm and can see no way out. But, it doesn’t change the fact that it is still a choice how you deal with the curve balls life throws you. You can roll over and wallow in your own self-pity or you can decide that your life is worth fighting for – no matter how hard or long that fight lasts.
The. Choice. Is. Yours.
