The Author's Corner: Avalanche

In life there is going to be storms that will challenge you. At times life will try to knock you down for good and during those storms it is hard to stand up to fight it. Within time as we grow into who we are meant to be, these challenges that we face on a daily basis is what shapes us into who we are.

The movement of your life comes down to you with the decisions that you make. Do you stay outside in the storm to feel the full front of it, or do you remain inside? That is where the choice is, to remain where is up to you, like choosing your battle. That is where your choice comes in.

The avalanche of life happens every day to everyone. Where we really do not know what other people are going through, we should not pass judgment on them. We only know our own situation at best and to judge someone is wrong.

Some think they have the answers and maybe they do for their lives, however that is for them to know. Still most people try to help others not knowing that it only puts a wedge into the relationship between the two of them. In these situations, it is almost better to listen to the person and let them solve the problem their way.

In that there is a never-ending way of life and for most of us, we just want someone to listen to our problems. A sounding board is what most people want as they talk out their problems. With the people who listen, they forget to take the time to let the other one to talk.

Where most people want to help their friends and family in anyway possible sometimes causes problems. In what is to happen throughout everyone’s life we have all been on both sides of the situation. What has come is more problems will arise. To take a note when you invite someone to listen to your problem, you are also inviting other opinions of what they think needs to be done. If you do not follow what that person says sometimes it will upset them and damage your relationship.

An avalanche can happen at anytime in your life. It come down to how you manage those days.

Stay safe.
