Today on Strength💪🏽🤎

Life is a bed of roses, but roses do not bloom in storms either. Sometimes, we have to take a different step from what we planned, to make things happen. Whichever way, we are our decisions. We are the product of the choices we make.

We get to choose what happens next by deciding on the next step to take and how to handle the events that follow. Just like flowers, what we all need is a golden ray of positive sunshine. However, when life happens, all we get is the stormy weather and the dark heavy clouds, the long sad moments that seem to never end. Despite all that, we have choices to make, whether to let the clouds take our smiles or to keep holding on till the sun rises again. Dark nights aren't made to let our fears creep in and change our minds. Dark nights are for reflection. Just like other planets reflect their sun-given rays on the night sky as stars, we too should reflect on how we spent our sun-given time, positively or negatively, and should be added to our night skies as stars too.

There is every need to step out of our comfort zones in search of new horizons and beautiful paradise to make life better, brighten our minds and get ready for wholesome adventures. Sunrise should be our moment of action, and sunset, our moment of reflection. Every yesterday is a past. But you have two options; to let your past define you or to pick the lessons and move on. Optimize every opportunity you get and create positive memories. The sun might set now, but tomorrow, it will rise again. Wait for it, be patient. Just ride the tide until the sun rises again because it always does. And when it does, and you're still open to everything, you're in for a lot of surprises. You just gotta choose to be ready for all of it.
