Head Into The Storm
All of us will encounter metaphorical storms throughout our life. We have all developed ways in which we weather the storm and respond to it. Those responses have allowed us to get this far in our life. Most humans resist the adversity and change that storms bring into our lives. But, the American Buffalo can teach us an invaluable lesson. And that is to run directly into the storm. This seems counter-intuitive and even possibly dangerous no? Well, there are many advantages that come from this daring act. First, we are acting rather than being acted upon. Second, it lessens the buildup in anticipation for the storm. And third, once you are in it, the storm is actually shorter than if you were running away from it. So allow me to join you on this adventure of challenging your storms and let’s run into the storm together.
