Fire Drills

"A fire drill does not demand a fire." - Nancy Cartwright

Do you remember those old school days when you practiced evacuating a building in case of a fire? Fire drills were always fun as it got us out of school work. We lined up and walked quickly without running to our designated safety area. We performed these drills 'just in case' a fire eventually broke out and our lives truly depended upon getting out safely.

Back in the 1950s, the threat of nuclear war was pervasive. People practiced 'duck and cover' in order to save themselves from the nuclear fallout. They would crawl under their school desk and cover their heads. I am not sure if that would have saved us, but we were prepared.

Yet we practice constantly in the event that something bad will happen in our lives. Those things may never happen, but we are prepared because we have taken the time to prepare.

What if we took time to prepare for the good things that could happen in our life?

Maybe we should practice how to handle the large amount of money we will earn.

Maybe we should practice what it will be like having great relationships.

Maybe we should practice having great children and a great job.

What I am saying is that maybe we should practice being positive about life.

Stay inspired my friends!
