But this experience taught me a life-changing lesson.
Let me take you back to years ago when I was rushing through the streets.
My papers were clutched to my chest while the rain soaked through my suit.
To my chagrin, I had forgotten my umbrella at home.
As I passed by people, dry under their umbrellas, it dawned on me:
𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.
It’s crucial to remember that we’re the ones in charge of our own lives.
We can’t expect others to carry our umbrellas or brave the storms for us.
We must pack our umbrellas and hold them over our heads when the skies open.
And this realization is not something to be mourned.
It’s empowering.
We hold the reins.
We’re the captains.
We decide when to sail, when to dock, and when to brave the storm.
So, the next time you find yourself caught in the rain without an umbrella, remember it’s not about the umbrella itself.
It’s about you taking charge of your life and weathering your storms.
Take a moment today to embrace your power.
What umbrella have you been neglecting?
What storm can you weather on your own?
Please share your thoughts.
Let’s inspire each other to take charge of our lives.
Have a great week.
