As we all know, life is a journey filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs. Throughout this journey, we often encounter storms – those difficult and tumultuous moments that seem insurmountable. Each of us have had our fair share of stormy weather. I saw this post on Instagram and the quote “Every storm runs out of rain,” reminded me that even the darkest of times will eventually pass.
This beautiful metaphor speaks to the transient nature of difficulties. Just as a storm cannot last forever, our troubles and hardships are not eternal. They may be powerful and overwhelming in the moment, but they, too, will come to an end.
The concept that “every storm runs out of rain” carries a universal message of resilience and endurance. It reminds us that our capacity to weather life’s challenges is far greater than we may believe. Just as nature endures storms and emerges more vibrant, we, too, can emerge stronger, wiser, and more appreciative of the beauty that follows adversity.
In our personal lives, we can apply this philosophy to difficult moments, knowing that they are temporary, and we will eventually find peace, happiness, and clarity. It encourages us to seek solace in the knowledge that change is a constant in life and that, even in the midst of turmoil, the sun will shine again.
“Every storm runs out of rain” is a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life’s challenges and the hope that follows adversity. It encourages us to persevere, adapt to change, and find strength in difficult times. It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope. So, when you find yourself in the midst of a storm, remember that it will pass, and better days are on the horizon.
Here’s a song by Gary Allan on the same quote! (lyrics below!)
I saw you standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you’re feeling like you just can’t win, but you’re trying
It’s hard to keep on keepin’ on, when you’re being pushed around
Don’t even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, ’round, down
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
So hold your head up and tell yourself that there’s something more
And walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don’t be afraid of the thorns
‘Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin’
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It’s gonna run out of pain
It’s gonna run out of sting
It’s gonna leave you alone
It’s gonna set you free
Set you free
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
It’s gonna set you free
It’s gonna run out of pain
It’s gonna set you free
