Stormy Weather

Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.'

Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'

Marianne Williamson

This is a little wave compared to the ones that have been crashing ashore over night. We've just endured another autumnal delight, where the weather takes charge and shows us who's boss. Life can seem as turbulent at times - whether it's due to internal volatility or external forces at work on your life. I've been in situations where I've egotistically longed for everything to fall back into place, so that I can continue my peaceful existence unchanged and carefree, it seldom happens. The real trick in life is finding stillness in the eye of the storm. If you can find that inner peace that comes from acceptance of who you are and what life is, then everything else will slot into place. It is important to remember that the storm will pass, no matter how dark the skies. Though it is equally as important that we keep living and moving forward rather than just waiting for the storm to pass. My other favourite quote which is along these lines is 'Its not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain'.
