Rising Above Storms of Life


Recently I read an article on how eagles depend on strong winds of the storms to soar above the storms. Eagles know how to use storms to lift it higher, so that they would not be hit in any storm.

All of us experience personal storms in our life. Whether big or small storms, we come to understand that these are challenges we have to face in our life. Some storms are able to lift us up, yet there are storms that we dare not brave through.

Understanding that storms in our life are helping us to grow out of our comfort zone is not easy. It takes us time to realize that growth from challenges is what life is about. When one does understand that, he will be able to rise above the winds of storms that brings all sort of disappointment in his life.

How we handle the storms in our life is very important. We must always be ready and face these storms calmly. Accept that there is a purpose in every challenge. Gather all your energy to soar above the storm and overcome the challenge!

Dare To Be Different



When I was growing up, the slogan ‘Dare To Be Different’ was very popular. Back then, my teenage friends liked to hang out together and they were often seen wearing T-shirts with the same slogan splashed boldly on the front and back! I was the only one who seldom wanted to hang out with them ……. All because I was different!


These days, when you are considered as different, you are treated as one different person altogether. People will brand you names. Parents will forbid their children to go near you. Sometimes, even your own family members will think that you are weird! However, the truth is, there is nothing to lose to be different!


To ponder: Why people choose to be different from the crowd?


The answer is, of course

- They make choices and possibilities to expand every day.

- They have the courage to face the fears and go beyond the fears that bound them.

- They look forward with enthusiasm to the day ahead.

- They have the strength to overcome all challenges.

- They acknowledge their own creativity and power of imagination.

- They took responsibility for their thoughts and actions.

- They trust their own ability to create abundance.

- They recognize their true self-worth.

You can also choose to be different. Nobody can stop you. Life cannot stop you too. Instead, your life is waiting for you to be different from other people's!
