Are You A Bison or A Cow
Are you a Bison or a Cow?
This is a well know story that speaks so truly to me. I write it for you and I write it for me.
When there is a storm approaching, cows sense it and begin to run away with the herd but they are never faster than the storm. Eventually the storm catches them and they end up running with the storm, which prolongs the suffering they were trying to avoid.
The Bison also sense the storm, but instinctually and uncommonly they face the storm, and head into it right away. They know that by moving towards the storm, facing it and what has to bring, it will pass more quickly. Their suffering is shorter, and the wisdom gained with each storm makes them stronger.
It is the same storm for the cow and the bison. The cow is exhausted after the prolonged experience of the storm, and its futile attempt to escape it. The bison grows stronger, more confident and more wise with each storm that it faces.
If a storm appears in your life, as they always do, be like the bison.
Do not hide from discomfort.
The storm is here to teach you.
The storm is here to clear your path.
This is not just another Facebook inspirational post.
I share it from experience of the storms in my life.
And it is a universal truth….
The only way out is through.
