Avoid A 'PERFECT STORM' To Lose A Game
A lot of DEJA VUs here once we discuss how to Avoid A 'PERFECT STORM' To Lose A Game simply because, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. Oh yes, definitely, no one is stranger Yet, no matter how many storms we survive, it's hard to like them as they tend to bring along turmoil, despair and worst, destruction. Whether we like it or not, no one can escape them. We all have WEATHER STORMS in our life, whether that's within our work life, our family life, our health or even our finances. Sadly, they all come into our life unannounced and really UNINVITED⏳⏳⏳So, if we CAN'T run away from them, WHAT then should we do? Here's a thing that is very very rarely recognized and realized. STORMS CLEAR OUR PATH. Life would be a mundane routine if it weren't for the occasional storms that blindsight us and us off the STATUS QUO. Sadly again, no human can have an 'all-positive' life. Peaks of challenges and valleys of darkness are inevitable in everyone's journey on Earthπππ
What sets the course of our life is NOT the storm but our response to it. WHAT else? Studies show that STORMS MAKE US STRONGER. Similar to the way we develop our muscle strength via training, storms are similarly our personalized resistance training program. The more serious STORMS we face, very likely the stronger we growπππ
Now this is a tough sharing from studies which confirm that STORMS COMPEL US TO SELF-RESPECT. As our life of ease rarely encourages self-reflection, only STORMS do that. When someone is at the throes of despair and devastation, we tend to often resort to seeking inner solace, that place of calm from the raging external unrest. To quote Confucious: "ATTACK THE EVIL THAT IS WITHIN YOURSELF RATHER THAN ATTACKING THE EVIL THAT IS IN OTHERS"πππ
To quote Nichiren Daishonin, the 13th Century Japanese Buddhist Reformer, "THOUGH WORDLY TROUBLES MAY ARISE, NEVER LET THEM DISTURB YOU. NO ONE CAN AVOID PROBLEMS, NOT EVEN SAGES OR WORTHIES". And this concludes with the lesson that STORMS ARE OUR TEACHERS. Instead of wishing for an easy life, we should equip ourselves to tackle life's misfortunes with wisdom. WHY? Because no human can escape the inevitable sufferings of either the body or the mind. As they say, the best teachers have gone through their fair share of trials and tribulations, tragedies that elevated their consciousness, leading them to learn their lessons the hard wat after avoiding a PERFECT STORM✅✅✅
