Wrong Choice of Clothing
I just read Brenda Benedict's article Sambal on the Side (The Star) in which she quoted a German saying, "There is no bad weather. Just a wrong choice of clothing". This is a variation of for e.g. Jennifer Love Hewitt's song "Barenaked" in which she sings "Life's what you make it", and highlights the proactive ability of humans in being able to adapt to whatever situation life throws at you, including adapting the situation itself.
How many of us feel trapped by circumstances? We should never feel that way. Most of us have the ability to create those circumstances, but not many have the courage to embrace change, and some have wallowed too long in those circumstances that they have defined the comfort zone.
So the next time you find yourself in harsh weather, just change your clothes. Figuratively speaking (and not out in the weather, of course!).
