What are yours?

Lions need to run in order to catch their prey.
Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better be running.

I am responsible for three things in this world. My actions, my pre-teen son’s actions until he’s an adult and my dog’s actions. I accept responsibility for them. Everyone else is on their own.
