LifeRulz: Disruption

Have you ever watched the wind? Of course not, all we see are the effects that the wind has on things around us. We know the wind is blowing the sway of the trees or various things flopping around us. Wind is invisible but its effects, the way that it interacts with our lives is quite easy to see.

That is essentially what disruptions are. To the naked eye, disruptions are not always things our eyes can see. What we see though, are the effects that those disruptions have on our lives and the people we love. One moment, we are cascading down the city block and the next moment, our 6in heels are stuck in a break in the concrete.

It happens more often that we think. The challenge for us is navigating those disruptions. Unless a category 5 hurricane is outside, we never stop living our lives because the wind is blowing. We may add a layer of clothing to keep us warm. We may slow down in our cars to control things better. But we never stop doing life because of the wind. Have you ever rescheduled a job interview because it was raining outside?

We respect the power that the wind has but we do not allow it to intimidate us. We take note of its impact but we do not allow it to paralyze us, manipulating our lives and our emotions. Disruptions are just like the wind. Life happens. Disruptions are not something we can avoid but we should not allow them to interrupt what we are striving to do. Do not allow the disruption to terrorize you into walking away from life, from hope, from your purpose.

Confront it. Control it. Conquer it.
