Have you noticed?

Bad things happen to good people.

All the time.

Did you get stuck in traffic this week?

Or have you ever lost your cellphone—with all the phone numbers lost forever?

Or have you ever had the terrible experience of your computer crashing—and all your files vanishing to oblivion for all eternity? (I wonder if there’s a data heaven somewhere in this universe?)

Or have you ever experienced your boss shouting at you for something that wasn’t your fault?

Or have you ever experienced the pain of your boyfriend or girlfriend dumping you for another person?

I repeat. Bad things happen to good people all the time.

I can’t answer why they happen.

But here’s my bigger question: What do you do when bad things happen to you?

Do you sulk?

Do you complain?

Do you just stay put and do nothing?

Or do you have a bias for action?

Here’s my simple yet big message for you today: Winners have a bias for action. That’s why they’re winners.

I want you to watch this crazy short video. It’s less than one minute. It’s really funny.

But its lesson is incredibly profound.

Insane, right?

But you’ll be surprised that a lot of people do the exact same thing when bad things happen to them.

They freeze.

They get stuck.

They just stay there.

They complain.

They complain to the world.

Friend, has a bad thing happened to you?

Don’t get stuck.

Don’t complain. It’s useless.

Stand up.

Instead of complaining, do something.

If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, limp. If you can’t limp, crawl. Stumble your way to greatness.

Why? Because God never said that no bad thing will ever happen to you. But here’s His big promise: That every time a bad thing will happen to you, good things will come out of it. Every time! Because Romans 8:28 says that all things will work for good to those who love Him.
