I’ve spent my entire life in and around Tornado Alley. When the BIG ONE comes up, your job is to hunker down and wait.

Humans have a predisposition towards action. If there is a problem, yo, we want to solve it. But as I have more and more experiences in my life I’ve come to think, more often than not, the best way to get out of most things is to simply wait it out.

This kind of waiting isn’t lazy or a form of defeat. It’s a recognition that we aren’t always in control, nor are we all powerful.

More importantly, it’s a reminder that most things aren’t about us at all. I can no more influence and affect most things in my life than I can the twister as it rips by.
