When it rains its better to stay dry then to get wet
You don’t want to get wet
Wet leads to cold
Which can lead to illness
A shelter will keep you dry and healthy
So how to build a shelter?
There a several steps
The first are relationships
The relationships with the people you love and that love you will keep you safe
Whether its your family or certain friends its vital to have people in your life that will be there for you
When we are young there are many such relationships
Parents
Grandparents
Uncles/Aunties
As you get older these diminsh
Maybe a brother or sister or a few good freinds
These relationships are vital
Strong relationships themselves are a shelter against a rainy day
These relationships will put a hand over you, keep you dry and safe
Do not underestimate the importance of relationships
The second is mental fortitude
Know what you are
And what you are not
Know that your worth is not derived from peoples opinions of you
The universe loves you regardless
You are alive and you can do good things in this world
No matter what people think or say
Remember this
Internalise it
Do not take things personally
Do your best with love
And know you are something
This mental shelter will protect you from the evils of people
Opionions
Gossip
Know internally
That it doesn’t matter
Know that
God made you you
And
God makes no mistakes
The third and final is financial security
Financial security may be the most obvious when people think of a shelter against a rainy day
But financial security protects you differently from the first two
Financial security means you may never be in situation to do things you don’t want to because you can afford to choose not to do those things
It important to know that if you lose your source of income today that those who you are responsible for will be okay
You will be able to provide
And come back stronger
Wiser and better
Time
Financial buys you time
Time to bounce back
Relationships
Mental fortitude
And financial security
These things will keep you safe against a rainy day
These are the three bricks out which to build a shelter for a rainy day
