Stay Calm in the Storm

When our next best course of action seems unclear, any dilemmas we face can appear insurmountable. Yet there is nothing we cannot overcome with a clear mind, time, persistence, help, and faith.

Whatever the situation or problem, there is always a solution to it, even if you can’t see it. The first step in overcoming any obstacle is to believe that it can be overcome. Doing so will give you the strength and courage to move through any crisis.

The second step is to make a resolution that you can prevail over any chaos. Enlist a support network of family and friends if necessary. The more minds there are to consider a problem, the more solutions can be found. Don’t discount ideas just because they seem impractical or unrealistic, and don’t keep searching for the ‘perfect’ alternative.

Often there is no perfect choice; there is only a choice to make so we can begin moving beyond whatever is obstructing our path. At the very least, making a choice, even if isn’t the ideal one, can give you a sense of peace before you have to figure out what your next course of action will be.

If you feel overwhelmed, think of other people who have turned adversity into triumph. You will gain a fresh perspective when you remember others who have overcome larger obstacles.

It is during our darkest hours that we sometimes need to remind ourselves that we don’t have to feel helpless. You have within and around you the resources to find a solution to any problem. And the best resource is always a calm and clear mind, one that you can achieve through meditation.

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and will give you powerful tools to stay calm in any storm. So try meditation with a certainty that if the choice you make doesn’t work, you are always free to try another.

Believe that you can get through anything, and you will always prevail.

With love and light, I wish you Enlightenment,
