People are often surprised at how quickly I took action after losing much of my life to the hurricane. To me it was a no-brainer. Either you can sit back and become depressed, or you can get back on your feet right away.
Have you ever noticed how sometimes, the longer you sleep, the harder it is to wake up? Life is the same way.
The Slingshot Analogy
A slingshot can launch things incredibly far, but first you have to pull it back and stretch it out.
A professional baseball pitcher slowly pulls his arm back, winding up for the pitch. A second later, the balls flies toward the plate. The batter, completely unprepared for such a fast pitch, strikes out.
Which would you rather be, the pitcher or the batter?
I'll close with a quote from Napoleon Hill:
Every advertsity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or a greater Benefit.
