April Showers Bring May Flowers☔️🌈

Inayat Khan once said, “The source of happiness or unhappiness is all in man himself.” There is nobody around you that decides if you are happy or unhappy, because this decision is solely based upon YOU. Being aware of this, why choose to approach life in a negative manner? I have learned that it is important to advance through life with an optimistic attitude, for the small moments one enjoys account for the large amounts of happiness he experiences. When faced with an irritating situation, you shouldn’t anger yourself, but instead enjoy the change.

Therefore, this April, I challenge every one of you to dance in the rain. No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to dance; it doesn’t matter if others around you are staring; it doesn’t matter how stupid you look. Lose yourself within the raindrops, and let your mind become a blank canvas, letting the rain paint your own original image. And when you feel the cold winds touch your skin, keep dancing. Sing along with the thunder, letting each roar add to your harmony. And don’t forget to pose when lightning strikes, for it’s only trying to give you a spotlight! Remember, this is YOUR dance, and nobody can perform it better than YOU. Rain hits everyone, but most people just open their umbrellas, hiding themselves from the raindrops. Those who forget their raincoats feel as if they’re targeted, victimized against the harsh winds. But why are they so concerned about protecting themselves from nature’s trajectory? After all, nobody can prevent a thunderstorm, just like nobody can prevent themselves from becoming tragedy’s next victim. One often forgets that it is not the situation that shapes a person, but their REACTION to the circumstance. Why not take advantage of these challenges, and utilize them as opportunities to grow and learn? So go outside, sing, dance, and let yourself go crazy. Befriend the rain, and remember that your smile can cause any thunderstorms to die down and leave behind a rainbow that will be shining just for you! ☔️🌈
