Good Morning,
Folks know the saying ‘Every cloud has its silver lining’.
Have you ever looked for the silver lining in the clouds? When I was a kid, I would actually look for something silver-ish in the clouds and sometimes even saw the areas the sun reflected off the clouds making it appear like silver.
Clouds, being signs of those negative things we don’t look forward do. Like storm clouds on the horizon, a foreboding tough times ahead.
Bad things happen in life, and yes, there are often good things to be found when we look for them.
Like looking for the silver lining.
The key is two-fold.
First is to look.
How often do we go about our days assuming the worst, that, nothing good can come from something. Sure there are times when the good will not show up for days, weeks, etc., but it certainly will not show up if it is never looked for.
The second is to allow there to be good.
When we expect to see the bad, we are often not disappointed. Looking for the negative is easy, it’s looking for the good that can be tough. We say, ‘nothing good can come from this’. We shut the door, and have often decided prior to even looking.
Often we may have to wait a bit, but we should look back again, and give the good a chance to grow.
It is not easy, but better than constant gloom of the clouds.
Every cloud has a silver lining, every bad thing in the world has something good that can come from it, if we both look for it with even a small expectation that it can be there.
Enjoy!
