I spent the day working up in Brighton this past week with Skip. As I drove up there, I was dressed only in clothes not adequate for cold weather and could sense it getting colder the further we drove up the canyon road. After a couple hours in Brighton, it started to snow and hail on us. I had heard reports a couple days earlier that the temperature was dropping and a winter storm was possible. But, I chose not to heed the forecasted storm or prepare for it; being in denial because it had been summer weather the days prior. I was caught inside the cloud for many hours. Though beautiful at first, the snow-filled trees could not be enjoyed due to my lack of preparedness. The result was near frostbitten hands and physical exhaustion.
Such is life as I do not prepare for different storms that I weather in life. Initially, I need to be prepared for the different storms that arise and heed given promptings or warnings. I can face the upcoming challenge or storm much more easily or endure it better if I am prepared. And, I will come out victorious
Very good analogy!
