Lead us now! YOU lead, others will follow.

As tragedy strikes family and friends, we are reminded that we "shouldn't sweat the small stuff," or that "life is short."

One of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's pitchers, Nick Adenhart, was killed early this morning by a man who made a choice to drink and get behind the wheel of a car even though his license was expired (due to drinking and driving) plus numerous other DUI's. Whatever happened to taking responsibility of your actions? How could he or his friends let him get away with this? This man will now face the wrath of the judicial system, his family and friends and the entire MLB family.

We can no longer step back and tell ourselves, "I shouldn't have done that, it was a bad decision." We must STAND UP and take responsibility of our decisions and we must STAND UP and lead ourselves to make the right choices.

We all must step back and begin to look at our own lives. Could this have happened to you? Begin TODAY leading YOU and only YOU. I continue to tell people, "you are the only YOU you've got." Nick and his family will never know the true greatness his future held because of a man who "needed" to get behind the wheel. Take control man! Lead YOU!
