The Mountain and the Wind
Posted on March 19, 2013 by Shenita Sanders MA CPPC , One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Do negative people, places, or things conspire to overwhelm you? Need help coping?
”No matter how hard the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.” Chinese ProverbImagine the mountain as your positive self/energy/thoughts.
Picture the howling winds as all the negativity that
surrounds you. Now believe yourself to be strong, unwavering,
and steadfast through all of life’s challenges.
When life becomes overwhelming, remember you are the mountain and tell yourself, “I will not bow down to my negative circumstances.” Focus on the things that are within your control and let go what you don’t. More importantly, begin to see the negative situation as an opportunity to learn a valuable life lesson. Learn to embrace the value in the valley. It could turn out to be your biggest blessing.
How will you conquer howling winds?
