I know the title of this article has probably struck many of you as odd, or maybe even inappropriate. What can I say, I've never really been fond of holding feelings inside, that includes using appropriate language for sensitive ears, and eyes. I'm sorry, but let me explain.
The reason I chose this title is because on my way to work the one morning I realized that my car was literally covered in bird shit. In the past I have compared my car being covered in bird shit to my life. Often times I will start to think that my life is quite similar to my car… always getting shit on. This obviously isn't entirely true but some days that is what it feels like, and I'm sure that many of you feel the same.
Anyways I was on my way to work pondering that very thought, and how my car was covered in disgustingness, and how it really needed washed. From that point my brain kept right on going… well if your life is like your car (covered in shit all the time) maybe you need to wash it to.
Maybe we all need a little rain shower in our life.. you know to wash away the shit. For you that shit could be work related, love related, family related.. whatever it is – Maybe we just need a good torrential down pour to somehow clean up what is underneath.
Personally I could use a good rain shower in every area you could imagine of life, but comparing it to my car somehow brought to my realisation how easy it really could be. It really could be as simple as giving my car a really good wash, and rinse.
If you break it down the shit that's all over your car could technically be broken down into categories such as the ones I listed above. But maybe they could even be broken down further… people that you hate, situations that are bothering you, feelings that you just can't seem to overcome. But what if you were to cut those things out.
This would be your "rain" – if you will. The cutting out of people, the escape from those battles, and overcoming the things that plague you daily. All of that would be that torrential down pour that your car needs to wash away the shit.
Maybe now that I have given you this explanation my title isn't so offensive. Maybe you have also realized that you also need a little rain in your life. I hope you get your rain soon to wash away all of the shit in your life. After all "life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain", right?
