I Run Even If It’s Raining
“Life is a series of experiences, each
of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world
was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grief
which we endure help us in our marching onward.”
---Henry Ford
“Remember even though the outside
world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face
and smile back at you.”
--Anna Lee
“Though it may rain cats and dogs, I
will never stop running.” This has been one of the principles that hold my life
together. I solidly believe that the purpose of your existence transcend the
suffering, the setbacks and the challenges of this life, if you could refuse to
look at the horror of the two-headed dragon emitting fire from its mouth, you
will have great feat and fulfill your purpose and dreams in life.
Many times when I look back at
several events that arose in my life and posed itself to have dashed all my
hopes but I grew through them and came out stronger and having a bright
promising future, it gives me a clear understanding of how life goes by its
gimmicks to decide who is fit to carry on to the next phase of trials and
confrontations that lands us into greater glory and fulfillment. Life has never
been cheaply easy; it takes confidence and courage to battle till the saying
‘victory at last’.
Time comes in everyone’s life when
there is rains of the usually unwanted trials, challenges, confrontation and
all forms of problems that is supposedly believed to be impossible to triumph
over, the only way to overcome is to keep running till the rain is over, if you
stop, it soaks your life, make you cold and sick till you lose your feet and
breaks you down, but if you keep running, God will give you the strength to see
you through and commands the universe to open the door to the hut where you get
a fine new garment of victory that beautifies your life and make you worthy to
stand among great men that have travelled the same journey. When we overcome
trials and confrontations, we become triumphant; there is no other way around
it. It is either you never stop running when it is raining and when thunderstorm
gives all its threat, till there is sunshine again and you can dwell in the
green pasture or remain at a spot because you are scared to run, then you get battered
by the rain and carried away by flood to a place of desolation and regrets.
When it rains cats and dogs, keep running, the rain will soon be over and the
dark cloud will clear away and the sun will shine and you can smile again.
The tougher the challenges people
encounter and overcome; the greater the glory that comes with it. The higher
the price you pay for every situations of your life the bigger the prize you
get out of it. Seek easy path and you will end in obscurity and mediocrity,
choose the tough road and you will definitely land yourself among the people of
brave and great personality. I hope you will begin to see that the tough times
in your life are necessary to catapult you to that great life you have always
imagined, see that your tribulation and adversity has not come to break you but
to make you, all you need to do is stay strong. Go ask people who have moved
from rags to riches, those who have fought their way from grass to grace, their
stories and testimonies are seated on great trials and challenges. If you want
to be at the top and live a life of meaning be ready to fight and overcome
battles.
Our setbacks and pains help us to
become braver and wiser to handle greater things, our confrontations and
challenges are the systematic element that life uses to build our character.
Life is a chain of experience that if well gone through makes us wiser,
stronger and greater. Life is a field of transformation, where the weak becomes
strong, and the poor becomes rich, the last becomes first, because they refuse
to let their situations make a mess of them.
It’s raining so hard, the cloud is so
dark; look up there, there is still silver linen in that dark cloud which
assures you there is still hopes, keep running because this is the only way you
can get to your destination. After every rainfall, the pasture becomes greener,
the air becomes fresher, the sun starts to shine bright and the birds of the
air starts to sing sweet songs which signify it’s a new dawn of greater things,
those who refuse to run with all their might till they find a shelter but
remained at a spot where they are battered by the rain and get carried away by
flood don’t live to see these beautiful things and if they see it, they don’t
have access to it.
Do not forget that after every rainfall,
there comes sunshine, your challenges and trials are visitors whose stay is
temporal, the victory and blessings that come after them are meant to dwell
with you. When it’s raining don’t stop running, it will only batter you if you
stop and sweep you off your feet, you can only reach your dream land when you
keep on running. I see you running even when it’s raining cats and dogs in your
life but certainly you are on the path to fulfillment, stay fulfilled!
