As much as we don’t like what we tend to call ‘foul weather,’ we do understand that it’s a part of the ecosystem and has benefits for us and the environment. Every situation that we go through either builds or breaks character. Where the results of nature’s storms are often repeated and known, the results of life’s storms depend on the character we have developed thus far. Between storms is the opportune time to gain the wisdom that builds our character so that when the storm comes, we are not broken by it.
