Let it rain

“I asked God for flowers and He gave me rain.” – @lawofthoughts
BOOM.
Never been hit by a truck of words, but just did.
Everything makes sense now.
Nothing good, beautiful or pure ever came from nothing.
You want flowers, you got to get down knees onto the mud and plant seeds.
You can strength, you get opportunities where your strength is tested and pushed.
You want a million dollars, you get the failures and learnings to pave your way there.
I know this sounds like self-soothing when you’re in a slump.
Or how losers self-rationalize their eventual greatness.
But damned if I do, damned if I don’t.
I’ll choose the perspective that empowers and encourages me.
Any day, any time.
Even if it’s not absolute truth.
Who cares anyway?!
If it gets the job done, it gets the job done.
Let it rain.
It sounds true, though. Maybe it doesn’t always have to be this way, but not all opportunities come “ready to eat”. Sometimes we have to work on preparing them.
