In the UK this week, we have been experiencing dramatic thunderstorms. And whilst it was initially exciting and refreshing, I’m a bit over it now. So this morning I gave myself a talking to and reminded myself that like most things in life, the storms will pass.

Often when we are feeling overwhelmed, it’s rather like a thunderstorm. It’s as if we have a black cloud hanging over our head persistently following us around. Yet unlike a thunderstorm, our overwhelm may be caused by circumstances that are unlikely to change.

So if you are feeling overwhelmed, it might be more helpful to remember ‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain’. Thank you, Vivian Greene.
