RIGHT AS RAIN

Being right and being right as rain are two opposite destinations. The reason we get upset, offended, irritated, dismayed, sullen, and withdrawn is rooted in our desire to be right. The phrase, right as rain speaks of health and being made whole.

Poor health is not always how your body is performing. A person in poor health can also be when an individual allows the dust and quagmire of the day to negatively affect the next.

Life tells us that every living thing has an ending point. A point at which there is no future. A point where what has been done in our time on earth is set in stone. There is no opportunity to correct, laugh or apologize anymore. The knowledge of this fact should be invigorating, encouraging, enlightening, and motivating.

Plato wrote that Courage is knowing what not to fear. Fear divides us. Fear multiplies upon itself and acts as a chain around our hearts and heads. As your Chief Encouragement Officer, I want to invite you to drive out fear and invite hope in. In order to be right as rain, we must take the infirmities that have long plagued us and cut the chain they are tied to. Look up and allow the clouds of humility and reconciliation to open and make us right as rain.

Let it go,
