What do you do if you feel caught amid a ‘stormy situation’ in your life? (Think on this… series)

3/27/2021

Think of a boat caught in stormy waters… Sure, those people could have checked the weather forecast and avoided getting into the water in the first place. But as we know life does not work like that. There are many instances in life, when things suddenly seem to take a bad turn and once, we are already in the waters, then the only alternative is to come up with sensible strategies to stay afloat and weather that unexpected storm!

So, if you feel caught in such a situation in your life then your initial reaction maybe that there is not much you can do besides wait for times to change back to pleasant conditions. But simply waiting is not the correct option.

You need to keep your wits about you and steer your boat (metaphorically representing your life). You need to navigate around rocks and obstacles. You also need to ensure that your boat (your life) continues to stay afloat without being completely overturned. It is only if you show courage during such stormy episodes, that you will be present to enjoy the ride after the storm subsides. Then once again your boat can continue to sail smoothly- reaching the shore, its destination.

The key here is to not lose courage but to keep faith and vigilance. These are the qualities that will allow you to weather any unexpected storms in your life.

Learning to weather such storms of life is an essential skill. It is very important to master it, so as we do not approach our life as a victim of our circumstance, but we learn to properly respond to life as co-creators of our destiny.

Try to take some time out to contemplate on how you typically view any unexpected challenges in your life- do you wait for times to change? Do you feel nervous and incapable of concrete action in the face of trying situation in your life? 'Or' do challenges inspire you to show your mettle- your courage and faith...
