“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain” – Vivian Greene
I find this quote especially poignant and inspiring. Life will unavoidably be a storm – “to live is to suffer” – some would say. But, it’s up to you to find meaning and joy in life – to dance in the rain.
The stoic message of this quote is concrete how to advice as much as it’s a poetic and symbolic articulation of holding on tight and enjoying the ride that is life. Go dance, run, swim… in the rain and see how you feel.
This is my favorite quote and one that is especially beneficial to be reminded of throughout your day. Moreover, it’s aesthetically appealing and helpful in setting the mood for everything from studying or working to slowing down for a cup of tea after a long day.
