=            &nbs= p;      Think About This

"This is a story that I once heard that has stuck with me and encourages me = during difficult times. It goes like this:

There was a lion tamer who was conducting a show before a large = audience of people. You could hear the whip hit the ground and you could see the = lion following his trainer's commands. Then suddenly, there was a problem - the = electricity went out; the tent went completely dark, seriously hampering the = trainer's ability to see. The trainer remained calm and continued to give the = lion commands and the show went on in the dark.

After the show, the trainer was interviewed about what happened and = how he was able to keep things under control. The tamer replied that he had = learned a valuable skill: When faced with a challenge, do in the dark what you = would do in the light. The lion tamer knew he had to remain calm, because = lions can see in the dark and they can sense fear, which could have turned into = a disaster.

My message: ‘When faced with a challenge, do in the dark what = you would do in the light.' Stay focused on your goals and remain steady." = Contributing writer: Sam and Gwen Solomon, Ferguson, Missouri.
