Come the Rainy Days

Come the Rainy Days

⛳ Are you in the Nordics?  Or in the Tropics?  Regardless, surely you've got a couple of seasons all year-round.  And rainy days will always be a part of the equation.

In life, there will always be rainy days.  In fact, when we were just warming our feet at the starting block when we were very raw products from the academe, we wanna grab any job offered to us.  And surely we were telling ourselves, if I get paid $100, I could set aside 10% and if I hit pay dirt, I can comfortably double my coffers.  

Fast forward today, you could be earning 10x the first time around.  So whatz up ? Did things really come into fruition?  Or were those modest plans shoveled and buried under the dustbins into our deepest recesses?

A decade after, the downpours come and where were we during those heavy rains?  Were we ready enough with countermeasures?  Or did we end up chickening out, running like headless chickens from end to end?  Probably.  Likely.  Hmmm, so it's now time for a post-mortem.  What the hell happened through the years?

Whereas had we come prepared for the rainy days, it won't have mattered at all.  It would have come out as literally walking in the park.  Or walking around Disneyland

Instead, there you are, scampering, seeking refuge, clinging to the last fragile fibers stretched out so thinly, you would be feeling at the knife's edge.

Why can't we be like animals who don't change its print.  Like tigers who don't change their stripes.  Like the leopard who doesn't change its spots at all whether its BEFORE or AFTER.  

In a nutshell, why can't we be consistent by sticking out with our 'rainy day' goals during those times when we were that raw and just readying up at the starting block?

It's tough, man.  That of not being ready.  Because you'll end up in a free fall, a fast skid way beyond your control.  Is there a way out of this conundrum.  Yes there are ways you can wiggle out from those dire straits but you'll get battered and bruised and barely surviving even as you struggle for the flickering gasps of hope, those fading embers you least expected to slip past and fast beyond your grasp.  Lesson here:  be prepared for the rainy days.  Seriously.👆
