Dancing in the Rain

Yesterday I was really blessed by Yah Lan's message. She said, "In life people wait for the storms to pass away, but sometimes we just need to learn how to dance in the rain".

When you go through storms in your life don't get upset. Don't blame anyone (including God) for the circumstances in your life. Dance in the rain. In life many of us hope that everything will be perfect, no problems, no heartbreaks, no disappointments. But the truth is, we live in a broken down world. And sometimes, things don't turn out the way that we want. People will let us down. Circmustances will turn against us.

But that doesn't mean you should live a life filled with anger and frustration. It is easy to be happy, easy to dance when everything is alright, and when the sun is shining bright. But not when you are in the rain. When nothing seems to be what you expected it to be. But despite that, you are able to dance through it.

Anyone who says only sunshine brings happiness has never truly danced in the rain. Sometimes, it is during the lowest point of your life, when you need to learn to be happy. Not for any other reason, but simply because you are still alive. You still have your very breath. Don't live your life with regrets, live it with joy and hope.

When you begin to live your life this way, you will realize circumstance will never determine your attitude. But you choose joy rather than grief. Faith than fear. Love than hate.
