DRAW FIRE<br />
Sometimes, bad things happen to good people.<br />
I don’t know why. Life is not fair. That is the<br />
reality.<br />
Disease and accidents don’t care if their victim is a<br />
“good person.”<br />
They have no reason, no justification, and no mercy.<br />
And even the best person you know can end up in the<br />
clutches of evil.<br />
And you cannot stop it.<br />
So. What do you do?<br />
Are you going to get angry? Frustrated?<br />
Are you going to lash out at people?<br />
Who are you going to lash out at?<br />
Are you going to start going down the spiral of<br />
negativity?<br />
Are you going to let the horrible situation dictate<br />
the way you feel and the way you handle it?<br />
Are you going to fall over?<br />
Fall down?<br />
Fall apart?<br />
Or are you going to lead?<br />
Are you going to face this issue with courage and<br />
with resolution?<br />
I say: Lead.<br />
Lead.<br />
Step up. Be the one who people look to.<br />
Absorb the impact—and the negativity.
