Today was a beautiful rainy day.
Most of my neighbors would think I’m crazy for saying that.
The “beautiful” part at least.
Because this is NOT the season we normally get rain.
It’s usually sunny with a side of jealousy-inducing temperatures this time of year.
But just because the weather wasn’t what we expected today, doesn’t mean it has to be something we complain about.
“Arguing with the WEATHER is one of the most ridiculous things we can do“
His son was telling him how much he loved the fall temperature in their hometown. Then he asks Brian what his favorite season temperature is.
Brian told him:
“The temperature RIGHT NOW is ALWAYS my ABSOLUTE favorite.”
102 degrees and humid?
Great! Free sauna.51 degrees and freezing? Perfect.
Cold plunge. Reboot the nervous system.
Brian adopted this mindset with the help of Michael Singer who says:
“Suffering is caused by the contrast between what you mentally decided you want and the reality unfolding in front of you. To whatever degree they don’t match, you suffer.”
So whether it’s rainy, sunny, or somewhere in between…
Beauty (and better) is in the eye of the beholder.
