I’m looking outside this morning and it’s overcast and what some people would call gloomy. It doesn’t really look gloomy out there to me. It looks peaceful.
Although I love a sunny day as much as the next person, I understand that every day won’t be sunny. If I stop and think about it, it’s always sunny on the other side of the clouds!
I’m not sure how I got on that particular topic of clouds and sun and how people feel. One thing is for sure, the more we allow external things to influence us internally, the more difficult it will be to achieve peace.
If we do happen to allow something external to influence how we feel, we should at least make it something good, right? An example of that would be focusing on the fact that the sun is always shining even on a cloudy day.
An alternative strategy would be to embrace the changes that are before us. An example of that would be learning to enjoy the peace and tranquility of overcast days in addition to the radiant brilliance of sun-drenched days.
There are and always will be things that are beyond our control, but how we feel about those things is always in our control.
Well, that’s all for now!
Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Dad
