Motivational Moments By Author Tricia Andreassen

I was thinking today back to a time when I experienced a deep ache. A hardship I didn’t know how to overcome. I felt the storm rolling in from the distance and the emotional turmoil that it was bringing.


What helped me weather this emotional storm? People I could trust. People that had gone through hardships like I was experiencing and had not only survived but could share the joy they experienced afterward. The connection of knowing someone else could relate to what I was feeling was immeasurable. It allowed me to feel certain that if they had gone through their storm and had come through the other side I could too.

One thing we know in life is that we will experience rough weather. Sometimes it will be wind. Sometimes a slight drizzle and sometimes a full blown storm that stops things in its tracks…

Next time there is a storm, remind yourself to look up and evaluate the sky. You will see that the sun is the brightest after a storm. It is when the visibility is the most clear and the sky is the most beautiful blue. Storms are necessary. They make us grow. They feed us with its lesson of rain (although we don’t recognize it at the time). It gives us perspective and allows us the opportunity to celebrate the explosive light that comes after it.

There is a saying about dancing in the rain. Know in the cycle of things storms are natural and a part of your life. When you do that, you will be aware to look for the beauty after it. It will allow you to weather it through and come through the other side. ‪#‎FindYourHappy‬‪#‎YourStoryCanChangeYourLife‬ ‪#‎TriciaAndreassen‬

Have you ever wondered why you are put in some environments where it feels like it is detrimental? Maybe it was a wake-up call to a reality that you didn't want to face but in the midst of that clarity you were able to see it for what it really was....

It happens to all of us where we experience a feeling of awareness that sometimes brings weight upon our hearts and causes us hurt that we were not expecting. Just like this tree the moss covers and weights down its branches.

Although the moss clings on, it doesn't matter. It keeps growing. It keeps thriving. It keeps going strong even in the process of something trying to cling to it.

It reminds us that we can do the same. NO MATTER WHAT.
We have a choice.
We can honor our hearts.
We can honor our decisions.
We can move forward.
No Matter What.
