Here in Florida, we have lots of storm clouds rolling in and out. There are good news and bad news with these dark clouds. The rain brings relief from our 90 plus temperatures, but can also ruin a great picnic, a day at the beach, or perfect fishing trip.
Dark Cloud Moments
It made me think about the dark clouds that happen in our lives. They too blow in and out and can cause havoc in a moment.
When we get all caught up in how dark the cloud is, we can’t see a solution. We can sit in “why me” and “why now.”
Here we can get stuck recycling what we know from the past. All we can think about is not being good enough, where we failed, where life seemed to be against us and not fair.
Silver Lining
To embrace change, the key is to look for the silver lining. Where is life on your side?
When you can shift to realize that life does things for us, not to us, you can begin to look at how this incident is to awaken you to see things differently.
It can catapult you to a new job that you can love, to focus on taking better care of your health and well –being, to fixing up the house better than ever.
Embrace the change; feel the betrayal, the hurt, the unfairness. Then look to see what could possibly be the silver lining.
