The Positive Side of the Week 7-26-24

Morris West once said; “If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.” Each day, week, or month comes with its ups and downs. Not dwelling on the down (the storm) is important. It is like when I ride a rollercoaster. I enjoy the trip up, the chain clacking as it pulls the carts to the top. The view of the entire amusement park, seeing people the size of ants eating cotton candy. Then comes the ride down and my stomach goes to my feet. The mechanics of a rollercoaster are amazing and similar to what ones goes through in earning success.

Roller coasters use a combination of physics, inertia, and gravity to give the rider feelings of manipulation in their body. When the rollercoaster gets started it uses chains to help it up to the peak. That chain is all the people who help you get up to the peak, overcome the obstacles that can get in your way of success. Then you hit the peak you think you have made the top, then the fall. The fall is important because that is when you gain speed. Some will think of the fall as failure, yet that speed helps you get up to the top of the next peak, around the bends. Those feelings the rollercoaster gives you are the ups and downs to help you reach the finish, or success. You wake up the next day and do it again.

Enjoy the ups and downs, never get too hung up on the fall, it is meant to get you up to the next peak. Enjoy the ride, learn from it, and know what to expect when the ride comes up again. Have a great week!
