Storm-5

At times, the meaning of our existence are associated with earthly possessions that's why some of us do find it hard to recover when our precious possessions will be stripped away from us. We will soon find out that these material things we value dearly can be taken away from us with just the blink of an eye.




If our existence is not valued by these material things, it would be much easy for us to recover from any storms that will pass by. Just remember that in His own perfect time, whatever had been taken away from us if we'll keep our faith firm, then we will receive much more afterwards. It is just a matter of doing our part and patiently waiting for His grace to come.



And just like any storm, the trials that we experience today will come to pass. These storms are simply honing us for the better, depending on how we deal with them. And when the storms are over and when we learn how to stand our ground, only then we can smile back at our life. The sun could never be brighter after the storm.

Storm-4

And when you learn how to think again, that's the time that you'll eventually realize that it is not the end of the world for you. Life has its own ups and downs and when you're down, the only way is for you to get up. Though it could be a tough task but it is a challenge that we have to face.



We simply can't lay dead on the floor waiting for someone to lift us up. We have to learn how to stand on our own again and face the world with a strong determination to live and give another good fight. Because by being down, we learn how to assess our weaknesses. We learn how to humble ourselves. We learn how to value life.



And by valuing life, we'll realize that it is too precious not to protect it. It will be a long journey before we can steadily make a good stand again but it is worth the fight. Nothing comes easy in this world. And the moment we can overcome these storms, we will appreciate more the meaning of our existence.

Storm-3

Feeling sorry about oneself could be a devastating state. It seems like the world is in a standstill. You can no longer function like your old self. Your self esteem is down and you don't have the drive to do the things you ought to do.



And one unbearable state you can inflict unto yourself is isolation. And that's where the real problem starts. The moment you isolate yourself. And in order to escape that isolated state, people tend to end it all. They thought that by ending their existence, their problems would likewise cease to exist.




Yes, give yourself some time to mourn over your misery. If you feel like crying, cry as if there's no tomorrow. Find ways to unload your burden except by ending your existence. And when you will be able to pour it all out, you'll feel relaxed and composed. And that's the time when you'll start thinking.

Storm-2

Living in misery is just but an option. We can choose to live in misery and be sorry throughout our existence. Or we can choose to fight our struggles and face life with a firm disposition to continue on living.



Some might argue that it is better said than done. True. No amount of kind and encouraging words can ever appease one's despair. Your family and friends can only be there for you, by your side. Their very presence will give you a sense of comfort that you are not alone. But they cannot fight for you.



You are fighting your own monster. Yes, you have every reason to feel bad and frustrated about the misfortune that beset you. But until when you are going to punish yourself? Until when you are going to torture yourself and feel sorry about it?

Storm-1

One time or the other, we were able to experience a storm in our lives. Some of them are mild like a pinch in our skin while some are devastating that can bring the best and the worst in us. And most of the time, these storms will test our faith.



Faith will be the only thing we can cling on especially when all of our hopes are fading and when we are stripped of everything that we have. Faith will be the only thing that will keep us going. Trying to live each moment will be a test of faith.



Living each moment could be torment to our soul when the pains and sufferings seem eternal. Your heart could wail its loudest but the sound could be a deafening silence. Families and friends, even strangers, may comfort you but no amount of comfort can ever pacify your misery.
