Feeling Overwhelmed?

Sometimes circumstances hit you. In life we often lose control and can’t really control anything anymore.

Now you may think you are in control and everything is ok. But when the life season hits you, you realize the harsh fact.

You are actually not the controller. You can’t control your life circumstances.

The metaphor I like to use here is: You are the sky. The experience is the kind of weather (sunny or storm). The seasons come and go. But you remain there, the sky, open, containing, spacious and strong. You are just there observing and being patient.

Such metaphors personally help me to move on in difficult situations and gain perspective. Thanks Allah for this blessing.
