Every one of us must eventually face the storm by Bryant McGill bryantmcgill/20140303104545.html The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the storm comes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, dont run from your pain — run into your pain. Let lifes storm shatter you. The beauty of being shattered is how the shards become our character and our marks of distinction. This is how we are refined by our pain. When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again. The storm gives us the gift of our defining choices. You will not be the same after the storm, because the storm will heal you from your perfection. People who stay perfect and unblemished never really get to live fully or deeply. You see, it is our pain that connects us to all of the most beautiful parts of life. Love is such a marvelous pain. Birth, death and suffering show us the essence of life and teach us so perfectly what is most important and precious. We are all made complete by our pain. At some time or another we all look around and eventually realize that we are not in control in life. When the storm of life comes howling and raging outside your window; when you look that tempest in the eye you will receive the humbling gift of knowing, that you are now in Gods hands. When you come out of the storm, you wont be the same person who walked in. Thats what this storm is all about. — Haruki Murakami
