I sometimes see chaos and challenges in my life as storms. Life’s storms are unpredictable. Sometimes, they catch me off guard, appearing suddenly like lightning on a clear day. These are the moments when everything seems fine, and then, out of nowhere, I’m hit by challenges that shake me to my core. Other times, I see the storm coming from miles away. I sense the tension in the air, I feel the winds shifting, and I brace myself for what’s about to come, knowing it’s only a matter of time before I’m engulfed in chaos.
The waiting can be just as unsettling as the storm itself. The anticipation of what’s to come can fill me with anxiety, leaving me on edge as I wonder how I’ll weather it. But whether the storm arrives suddenly or after a long buildup, the experience is often the same—intense, overwhelming, and all-consuming. I might feel like I’m being tossed around, struggling to find my footing as everything crumbles.
Yet, after every storm, no matter how fierce, there comes a moment of calm. The clouds begin to part, the rain slows to a drizzle, and a rainbow appears on the horizon. In this moment of peace, I start to see things differently. The storm, in all its fury, has passed, and I am left standing, perhaps a little battered but stronger for having endured it. It may take a long time to heal from a storm; however, the sooner I look for the rainbow, the sooner I find it.
Rainbows, in their fleeting beauty, remind me that even the darkest storms have an end. They symbolize hope and new beginnings, showing us that there’s an opportunity for growth and renewal after every difficult moment. Life may never be the same after the storm, but if I choose, it can be richer, more colorful, and filled with a deeper appreciation for the calm that follows.
How about you? Looking for rainbows can be difficult, but you may not see them if you don’t look.
Watch for the blind spots.
