The Motivational Experience: For You, Me, and US!

On rainy days like this, I always think about the day I went with my best friend Jasmyne and her mother to Missouri to drop her off to college. On the way back from this twelve hour journey to Texas it started raining. It was a little a first which quickly turned into a downpour followed by tornado warnings. I never seen rain like this, nor a tornado, and I definitely didn't want to. It started raining so hard people began pulling over to the side of the road because of the massive amount of wind and rain, but Ms. Carolyn just kept driving despite the extreme measures. I asked her after it seemed we were the only car still driving on this highway if we were going to stop. She said no, there's a tornado coming and I'm trying to get home. I laughed, I trusted her judgment and I was ready to get these 12 hours out the way anyways. Then I asked her "well where's the tornado coming from?" She replied that she wasn't sure very nonchalantly. I then started wondering if we should have pulled over along with the rest of the cars, what if we driving into the tornado? It's not like we could see up ahead, it was cloudy and it was raining so hard the windshield wipers couldn't keep up, I couldn't see how she could even see, which is probably why many cars pulled over. Not even 15minutes later after the rain slowed, the sun came out, and created a cute little sun shower until the rain finally stopped. I smiled. We were the only car on the road. I looked back and saw the grey clouds we came out of and thought good thing we kept driving.

Sometimes in life its going to rain, and it may get so bad that you don't see a way out of your situation, these are the times in life you got to decide are if you are going to stop and sit in it or are you going to keep on driving through the rain?
