Experiences have the power to transform us, as this quote from Haruki Murakami’s renowned 2002 novel “Kafka on the Shore” vividly illustrates. The storm here is a symbolic one, and this line is said as one of the story’s protagonists prepares for a difficult personal journey. Just as a storm can alter a landscape, challenging times can change us deeply. Even in the most unsettling moments, there are opportunities for growth and brighter days ahead — by embracing the transformative power of these moments, we can build resilience and adaptability in the face of just about any adversity.
