Imagine you are standing inside a circle of columns. Each column is an aspect of your life. One might be family, the others college, talent, friends, relationship, anything. These columns are supporting your life. Your job inside these columns are to maintain each, so that it will not go down. But sometimes the wind is too strong, even comes with lightning that strikes one of your columns. And it's out of your control.

When one of them suddenly breaks, it doesn't mean that everything is over. Remember that around you there are still other pillars supporting your life. You can still choose to keep maintaining them, even when you are hurt by the broken one. The shattered stones might hurt you, but not your whole life. Latch onto those columns. If you can, try fixing the broken one. If not, try building a new one. Sometimes, storms are there to tell us that we need to make stronger columns.

Whatever storms you are in, stay alive. Always remember to latch onto something. Even the smallest ones. In life, there is always something to smile about, only if you choose to.
