“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.”

This quote, by Morris West, is about always anticipating the worst.

But always having a mindset that something’s about to go wrong is like always “waiting for the storm.” In the meantime, we don’t enjoy the sunshine now.

Let’s do our best to enjoy the sunshine when it comes. And when there is a storm, let’s learn to “dance in the rain.”
