The challenges and struggles you face today, right now, do not determine where you end up or who you will be. They simply determine where you start. Where you end up is in your hands. So take action. Do something. One step, one thought beyond the present struggle and your journey is halfway over. So, do not be discouraged by the struggle of today.
Clouds may bring terrible storms and overwhelming rain and block your vision, yet they nourish the land. They also add spectacular features to any sunset: color, contrast, and depth. Your present struggles are no different than the clouds, which themselves are nothing more than vapors that are cast away by wind and time. Today, you have the upper hand on your present struggles. Tomorrow, they will be nothing more than a picture of a beautiful sunset of the past. And you will be in a better position from taking just one step to make things better. No matter the clouds, your future is bright.
