Life is a long journey and like it or not, the weather keeps changing throughout that journey. Not all days are pleasant, not all days are rainy, and of course not all days dry and gloomy. Every journey has its share of stormy days. On a stormy day, we often tend to forget that the sun is still shining behind all of those dark and frightening clouds. The storm isn’t going to last forever and all we have to do is rise above it. But how exactly do we do that?
Do Not Be Scared

Every weather condition is a part of your life’s journey, good or bad. The key is to not stop and continue the journey. Storms feed on your fear. The more scared you are, the more severe the storm gets. Do not lose your calm. All you have to do is stay put and do what needs to be done. As long as you are doing what needs to be done, the problem will take care of itself and the storm will settle. The sun will shine and it will be a good, very good morning again!
Self-Awareness Is The Key

Be an eagle! Eagles are extremely self-aware. They know their strengths and their weaknesses. So, they are always prepared for a storm. Eagles have a tendency to recognize an approaching storm long before it breaks. What eagles do is that they fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm finally hits, the eagles tactically set their wings in a way that the wind lifts them way above the storm. This is how eagles literally RISE ABOVE THE STORM. Thus, being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses is very crucial when it comes to survival. With self-awareness, you can also learn to plan ahead and thus use the storms to rise even higher just like the Eagles.
Do Not Give Up And Seek Help If Need Be

The most important thing is to believe in yourself and never give up. All your life’s journey comes down to this one point in your life where you either choose to keep fighting or you choose to give up. If you keep fighting, you rise above the storm. But if you give up, the storm consumes you. Not giving up is less of a decision and more of a mindset. If you adopt this mindset, there is no storm that you cannot rise above. Just hang in there and tell yourself, “giving up is not an option”. Also, always remember that there’s no harm in seeking help when you need it. You will always find helping hands as long as you ask for them.
