I was watching the comedian and actor Billy Connelly
on TV the other night and he had me in stitches. It
was a programme about his travels around the U.K and
Ireland. Throughout the show they showed some of his
live concerts and there was one particular part that
reminded me about something similar I had written in
my book that was about bad weather.
Billy says who says
that rain is bad weather? Who made that decision?
Billy says that there is no such thing as bad
weather only inappropriate clothing! This is true,
why is rain bad weather? In some countries rain is a
Godsend and people cheer when it rains so who is
right? Weather is whatever you think it to be. If
you think rain is bad then it will feel that way.
Like it says in my book don't let the weather
dictate your happiness and don't set up a condition
that it has to be sunny for you to enjoy the day.
Set up in your mind instead that no matter what the
weather you will make the very most of the day
regardless.
Isn't it ridiculous
to base your happiness on something that you have
absolutely no control over? Often when people tell
me that the weather is terrible I look out of the
window expecting to see a tornado coming my way but
more often it is just cloudy or raining. Hardly
terrible! Now this might seem trivial to you but
remember this, every thought has an emotional
connection so if you think that the weather is
terrible that’s how you will start to feel.
Like Billy says just
wear the most appropriate clothing for whatever
weather conditions. Simple isn't it!
