Chasing clouds

in GEMS5 years ago (edited)

It would be nice to think that life could perpetually be filled with clear blue skies, tropical breezes swaying palm trees lining the beach, fresh air and a soundtrack dominated by the lapping of waves at the shore...Idyllic, pleasing, soothing and exciting if I decided that's what I wanted.

But life isn't that way.

Sometimes it clouds over, dimming its brightness and bringing cooler weather, rain and storms often too. Troubled times and challenges confront us all.

For most of us the former is better than the latter however we have to accept both; Life isn't always plain sailing in sunny days. Accept doesn't mean we can't actively seek the good times though, the blue-skied sunny days, or that we can't work towards actively chasing clouds away.

What we do, the actions and activities, affect us and our attitude and attitude affects the actions and activities. They are inexorably linked with one feeding the other in turn; One dependant upon the other.

I believe it is futile to hope or wish for better days without having the attitude, performing the actions and activities that move us towards them. What we do daily and how we think will help in chasing clouds away; Sure, they'll come back, may never really leave completely in fact, however in doing the right things the right things will begin to happen.
