“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You can not withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm.'” -Unknown
“I was born for a storm, and a calm does not suit me.” -Andrew Jackson
It is said that buffaloes run into a storm. Cows run away from a storm.
At first glance you might think this is a metaphor about courage.
It is that, but it’s also about prudence.
You see, the cow turns away from the storm and moves with it, thus prolonging the suffering. But the buffalo, by heading into the storm, shortens its time in the storm. It gets to the other side much quicker.
When adversity hits, don’t run away. Turn and face it head on. Go right through it.
Be the buffalo.
P.S. – Speaking of storms, this scene. One of my all-time favorites!
