4 Ways To Fall in Love With the Dark Clouds in Your Life and Shoo Them Away

In a thunderstorm full of thunder, don’t shut your eyes. Let it cleanse you.

If you’re afraid of the dark clouds, you’re guilty of:

• Not taking risks
• Afraid of trying
• Being your own enemy

But as Anthony Liccione, an American author, believes:

“Expect, while reaching for the stars, people to whirl by with their dark clouds and storm upon you.”

Dark clouds are invisible energies that bug your mental peace, tranquility, and focus. Though dark clouds are for everyone, only some know the proper steps to fight them.

With dark clouds hovering around your brain, you generally have two options:

• Become bold
• Behave like a loser

We, humans, love the third option, and in this scenario, it implies (staying bold but letting yourself feel). Whatever happens to you, know it’s a universal phenomenon.

You’re your enemy if you believe problems devalue your personality. The third option is a save gateway (bold+ letting yourself feel). Remember that if dark clouds refuse to leave, you can shoo them away or entrap them in a cage.

Whatever your wish is, the below four methods are your guidelines.

1. Talk before someone else does

Arzu Taş, a character in Erkenci Kuş, was pretty upset. A childhood friend blackmailed her for leaking her fat photos.

It would have mattered to Arzu if she wasn’t a model.

But what she did may surprise you. Per the guidance of Can, a friend, she leaked all the photos herself.

The lesson?

• Talking about your own insecurities doesn’t feel bad anymore — it feels true.
• If someone else’s tries to unveil your insecurities, it makes you untrustworthy.

The solution is simple: talk about your insecurities before someone else does.

Because of this, you won’t be terrified day and night that someone might leak information about you.

Everything happens in this universe, from adoption to divorce and death. If your little secret is smaller than the problem above, there’s a chance people might take it lightly.

Always remember, your words shape your story.

Make any story appear lively :

Guys, you know what, I used to be a chubby chow in my childhood, haha, I can talk about it all night.

2. Embrace the next steps

Caution: the dark clouds know your heart.

The dark clouds know what you’re going to do. For example, when we are encircled with problems, we mostly do the following:

• Cry
• Worship
• Fight

Meaning you act on ordinary habits.

If your problem is unique, your solution must be unique. Don’t follow old practices and steps in search of an answer.

Crying help, but it’s not a solution.

As per Charles Kettering, head of the search at General Motors:

“A problem well stated is half solved”

To state a problem, write it down.

Your problems need a ground. And what is a better environment than writing it on blank pages?

Writing your problems down allows you to focus on unique solutions and strategies. It also gives your brain a brake.

Remember that crying is not a solution the next time clouds encircle you. The sooner you solve a problem, the sooner you can focus on the next phase of your life.

3. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes

Mistakes don’t define us.

But the number of mistakes we make translates to experience.

No one in this universe has a total share of experience. Do you want to know why? Because we’re afraid to make mistakes.

Most people do the following:

• Read books: consuming books allow us to gather information about the history and past mistakes.
• Listen to the elder: Listening to older adults can give you a glimpse of what life holds for you.

The shortcut way of learning is to make mistakes.

Since I realized life is so short to learn from books and elders, I make mistakes.

How can you do that? By doing what you don’t want to do.

We all have our comfort zone with happy clouds, but happy clouds don’t polish us. Dark clouds do.

If a genie were to give you a choice of one season in your life, pick dark clouds.

Because it’s where you shine.

4. Let it rain

A common philosophy: I hope this problem is the last.

Problems are not human. Therefore, don’t expect them to listen.

All they do is follow the universe’s command. When you don’t make the right choices, the hardships return.

For that, remember two things:

• Difficulties will always be there
• Make permanent choices

You don’t want to be encircled in problems and still have your back facing the battleground.

Make a decision.

I know you like both jeans. I know you like both boys. I know you both want the eyeshadow palette.

But the concept of “one” always makes us satisfied.

Multiples only bring pain. The next time you go on a shopping hunt, choose one, even if you can afford two makeup palettes.

Because one tends to make you satisfied.

Also, it prepares you for future “one” choice in your life:

• Partner
• Home
• Job

You can never imagine these happenings with two, can you?

Bottom line:

Fall in love with the dark clouds.

This is the easiest way to feel less pain and have a good life.

Because when we fall, we allow ourselves to inflict pain associated with problems. Then, issues don’t look like a third wheel.

When things go south, always remember that problems give you the meaning of life.

And once you’ve fallen in love with problems, married it, you can divorce and shoo them away.

The first step: fall in love.
