Fly Above The Clouds

It’s the turn of the year and the perfect time to look forward to new things. What will they be? How will they happen? That’s for another time. This time, we just want to get the ball rolling.
The whole business of getting things sorted out seems to be an unending cycle. But can we get things done? Yes, of course. But will the clouds that always threaten to bring down the heavy downpours of hurt, anguish and horrors give us space?
We are sometimes too determined to go through the hurt and pain that we forget we can fly above them. It’s good to testify of the ‘went-throughs’ but it’s better to testify of the ‘soaring-throughs’.
Life has taught us to stay put and fight all battles. And same life presents a better option of flying above the clouds of challenges. How do we get a hang of this? The fact that we have developed some attachments to fighting through our battles almost makes us believe it is impossible to soar through them.
Now, did I hear somebody say “count your costs before takeoff!”. Well, that’s great but it is never about dismissing the imminent but more of riding high through the situation. It’s not magic. It’s about sorting out things even before things crop up.
This is a step that must be undertaken even before the pressures mount. For any and every venture it will be worthwhile to see through to the end. This requires some great. And thank God we have two eyes. It is an inward search that requires us to respond to our battles and not react to them. Picture potential trouble spots along the way and determine the lines of response from day one. Pronto!
It’s a ‘despite’, ‘in spite of’, ‘never-the-less’, ‘doesn’t–matter’, ‘not-perturbed’ stand in the midst of adversities and storm. Beyond these, it goes on to wearing the corresponding countenances of ‘I-have-been-through-this-before’, ‘this-will-only-turn-out-for-my-good’, and ‘I-know-how-this-will pan out’.
Every disposition and action in this resolve must tell the story of ‘life is still great despite the stormy clouds’. The situation must be made to realise that your bounce, your radiance, your charm, your passion, your tenacity... can never be affected by it.
Hey! It’s not a denial theory. It’s a reality check on the situation that always presents itself as having all the aces. This is because every situation that tends to tear you down is myopic. It has no clue on how you will take it. If you react, the situation wins and if you respond the situation becomes confused. And will flee if it cannot get you down by tearing your mind apart and creating fear, anger and turmoil. It will look helpless if you will not allow it heat you up with vexation.
Upset not yourself. Keep your head above the raging seas and waters. Get on the ride above the clouds. That’s the only way to maintain a clear head and see over the storm. You got to see above the storm. Keep your head up. Take control of the reins of your situation and ride it. Only then will you be flying above the clouds.
Ride baby, ride and enjoy the plesantness that up above the clouds presents.
