There is a story used in coaching circles about how best to handle a storm that you see coming in your life. The story talks about how cattle will run away from the storm and how because they are slow the storm overtakes them and they end up confused and in the storm longer than they would have been if they had just stayed put. Then the story talks about buffalo and how they turn as a herd toward the storm and run through it, which minimizes the impact of the storm on them.
I don't see very many people going toward the storms in their lives any more. I see a lot of people skulking around the edges, commenting on the people in the storm, or foolishly running from it and getting overtaken.
I tend to go toward the storm, not away from it. So I end up having a rough time relating to those around me.
