“I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.” ~ Louisa May Alcott
Always know there is value in the storms that occur in your life. Once you recognize this, you can truly make the most of every opportunity – opportunities often come disguised as extreme adversity. And the way you allow the adversity to shape you determines whether you have gained something from it. Often heartaches are our greatest teachers if we allow them this place in our lives.
As a girl or woman, you may have experienced injustice because of your gender; you may have had opportunities taken away from you and perhaps you have had people around you who tried to destroy your self-esteem. The real question is: what has this taught you? Has it taught you to work even harder for what you want or to hold onto your dreams no matter what? Or do you just feel oppressed by what happened to you? The events that you’ve experienced cannot change, but you can re-examine them and choose to learn something empowering from these events. You can choose to become a stronger and more capable person because of these lessons. It’s not about the storms – eventually it’s all about how you choose to sail your ship!
