Thunder and Lightning Or A Rainbow
Barb Moses
We help organizations tear down the walls and build a trusting, transparent and authentic culture of joy and profit.
I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t appreciate a rainbow when they see it. It may be one of the best examples of an event that pulls us into the present moment – a miracle of nature.
As addicted to the sun as I am, I also love a good rain. Everything feels like it breathes just a little easier and lighter after it’s been washed.
And I love rainbows. They up my JOY factor. Whenver I see one, it’s like a surprise birthday gift. I don’t ever take them for granted. Or do I?
What are the rainbows I’m missing in my life?
Sometimes I get caught up in the thunder and lightning of a situation, and I don’t even look for the rainbow. Even when the thunder and lightning are gone, it continues to occupy my thoughts. I bring the storm back over and over and over again by replaying the sad, hurtful, or angry story about it. I don’t even allow the light to come in. I want to blame. I want to feel justified in my hurt or anger, and I want someone else to hurt too. Ultimately though, in the end, I’m the only one who lost out and completely missed the rainbow.
Anytime negative shows up, positive is available. Are you looking for the thunder and lighting, or are you looking for the rainbow? Even when you can’t see that rainbow with your eyes, feel it with your heart.
CHOOSE JOY. It’s not a concept. It’s a choice.
