"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm”While traveling on Route 40 in a Colorado snow storm last year, we were behind this truck trying its best to power through, while swerving left and right from time to time. However, despite the bad weather and flat lighting which made the driving really bad, the driver kept on driving.
I was complelled to caputre this moment to remind myself of our ability to "weather any storm." When faced with adversity, such as a bad day, a bump in the road of life, or a traumatic experience, it is so easy to curl up and hide from the world and from ourselves. It is simple and acceptable to cower, give up, or "pull over" and juat stop. However, each of us has the ability and the power within ourselves to rise to any occasion, learn from every experience and continue to grow, and live on. In doing so, we become wiser, stronger and more emotionally and physically powerful.
To that end, whenever I am faced with a challenge, no matter how small, I will remember this image and do my best to power on through, as I know we all can do!
