Headwinds

 

Sometimes in life you will get to experience the exhilaration of riding full speed with a favorable tailwind. Other times you will be giving it everything you've got, but into some of the most unrelenting headwinds that we occasionally (but temporarily) face. 

And sometimes you will just be cruising along when an unexpected gust comes out of nowhere and tries to blow you into oncoming traffic! 

The only thing you have control over in all three scenarios, is your perception of the circumstances and where you choose to focus your thoughts and your energy.

Once you learn to enjoy the tailwinds to the fullest, appreciate the adaptability you are building when faced against heavy headwinds of life, and recognize the strength you are gaining by staying firm against unpredictable gusts trying to knock you down - You will undoubtedly not only see that "finish line" goal, but you will cross it a more confident (yet humble), resilient, and disciplined individual.

Whatever winds you are facing today, just remember that they are either blessing you with an experience to cherish, an opportunity to grow, or a lesson to learn... And regardless of their persistence today, they are almost always guaranteed to shift and change tomorrow.
