**8. Shit happens...don't wallow in it.**

Uma Thurman taught me this lesson in Kill Bill. You see in that movie she goes after people who harmed her. She kicks five or six dozen trained Ninjas to get to one of them. Then she comes up against a down on his luck cowboy and get sucker punched. She ends up buried alive and crying like a b*tch. The same woman who killed almost a hundred assassins crying and buried alive in her own shit. We have all been there...when life seems to just kick us when we are down. But you see, she thought me how to get out. The first thing she did was calm herself...nothing wrong with a good cry folks but before you can see the problem clearly you got to dry them tears. Then we need to remember who we are, what we have been trained to do, what we have done already and what drives us on. Then we need to concentrate, reach deep within ourselves and do what we were trained to do...shred that wooden coffin from within and dig our way up through all that dirt (manure, shit...of our own making). And get on with what we are meant to do...our destiny.
