Minor Set Back For A Major Comeback...

Navigating the highs and lows of life can be frustrating and confusing, to put It mildly. Two analogies that immediately came to the forefront of my mind when I wanted to explain life in simple terms, were the mechanics of the heart and a slingshot...

1. The human heart can not contract and pump blood (systole or "Lub") without first relaxing and allowing for the chambers to fill (diastole or "Dub") . Therefore, without the low period, there could not be an effective, high period and the heart would not be able to beat.

2. Imagine a slingshot or a bow and arrow. The further/harder you pull back and retract the mechanism, the more power it will catapult the object forward with and the further that object will go.

So, we ought to start getting superrrr excited when we feel 20 steps back and really down/low In our efforts. Why? Well, because, the further back we are being taken In these low points, Is In direct correlation with how far we will move forward In the Inevitable "Lub" or moment of push and power!

Hmm, speaking of Inevitable-NOTHING lasts forever. The good or the bad. The highs or the lows. So we must think of the highs as brief moments of preparation and enjoyment conditioning for our next low. This cycle Is Infinite. The only thing we, as humans, have the ability to control or Influence; Is the way we act and treat other humans during both cycles In addition to how much we are able to learn AND later apply In both reoccurring eras.
