What a day yesterday turned out to be. It was one of those days where expecting the unexpected was suddenly the norm. Luckily, there are not very many days like yesterday.
This just goes to show that things happen so out of the blue, even when they are expected things happen and life changes. Certainly, no one woke up yesterday morning and imagined what was about to unfold. There have been days like that in the past and I know there will be days like that in the future.
So what is one to do? You go with. Things happen for a reason and if you cannot control them or influence their outcome then you just let it happen, try to minimize the damage or prevent anyone from getting hurt.
This means, that you have to not only remain calm but also be the rock, the pillar that stands strong and tall, the one that everyone looks up to. Why? It is during times of uncertainty people will turn to those that are calm, cool, and collected.
How do you spot those that are calm, cool, and collected? Well, they are the ones that walking tall while everyone else is running for cover. Notice how I wrote they are the ones that walk tall and everyone else runs.
So how do you become the tall, cool one? Experience life with all its good, bad and most certainly, all its ugly. Know that things can and will happen without notice or warning. Expect the unexpected.
In the meantime, as life continues to throw those curve-balls what do you do?
Dicky Fox, Jerry Maguire’s mentor, suggests that you "Roll with the punches. Tomorrow is another day."
