to do. All he ever thought about was Apple. All of his future plans and ideas were surrounded by the idea of him being CEO of Apple. And now here he was with nothing to do. Steve Jobs then decided to buy a company by the name of LucasFilm that was in the Computer Graphics Division. Later he turned it into an independent animation studio named Pixar. According to the Business Insider website, “This animation studio ranked 27 in Oscars and over $8 billion dollars in gross revenues  — off of only 14 movies.” Steve Job’s natural disaster caused this devastating life-changing event to happen. Only the hurricane of life was strong enough to overthrow, and get rid of the microscopic toxins that were in his life. Only the hurricane of life could have had wind bands strong enough to break that tie and bond Steve Jobs had with his own company Apple. According to Steve Jobs, that was the best thing that has ever happened to him. This life-changing event left some things broken and it opened up a plethora of opportunities for Steve Jobs. You may be in a storm blowing to and fro—and yes things in your life might be spiraling beyond your control. The question is: what toxins or negativity is this storm breaking up right now? What opportunities are you expecting to trickle your way? Also the winds of a hurricane are so strong it can pick up seeds and plant life and spread them further in land. Places that are prone to brush fires and forest fires have been able to grow again thanks to them. Some of earth’s most nutritious sands and nutrients lie still at the bottom of the ocean floor. Weather the storm, and allow it to lift those nutrients to where they need to go. When we blow dandelions, we don’t know where those seeds go, but they always reach their destination. They will travel farther than we can imagine. The hurricanes of life forces us to slow down and take a second look at every area of our life. When it rains, it pours and it may seem like we are drowning, but chances are that the rain that replenishes the areas of our lives that were in a drought will come. That wind will have enough power to overturn negativity. What is broken sometimes is meant to stay broken in order for greatness to have a chance to find you. In every storm there is always this tiny moment of stillness called the eye. As you withstand the eye, keep in mind that if you change your mind, you can change your life.
