Thunder begins at the soul

Life is full of events that change our life profusely. We must not stop at these events and deny ourselves an opportunity to live on with the experiences learned. We must allow them to ignite our soul to become vibrant and not be afraid to travel the unknown path that leads to happiness. Whenever the clouds gather in our lives and the lightning begins to dance before the thunderstorm, we should know that the sun will soon shine again over our soul.
