Life pivots around moments in time.
Understand that those moments are events that we don't have to control in themselves.
We do have control over the direction we move as we pivot passed them. Choices.
They may be limited, they may not be good, but there is always the direction that will get you to the next point.
The one you will have a better direction, one that will get you to the next point in time, the next pivot.
What's around the next corner is not guaranteed to be one that you will like.
Do your best and move forward to the next curve in your road.
Something blocking your road? Learn what you need to fly past it, around it, even through it.
Find the key to the locked door or learn to break it down.
Things can always be worse, to the point that when they can't possibly get any worse, then things can only get better.
That's a tough road to be on...
The other one, is the one that things are always getting better.
Eventually you run out of the possibility of things getting better, you live with the fear of knowing they will only get worse.
That's a tougher road to be on.
At the crossroads? Know that to step past the edge of your fears is to step out of your comfort zone.
Right there is where life begins, to step past it is to live. Your comfort zone will be right behind you, you can step back when you need to.
The glass of water isn't half full or half empty, it's simply a glass of water. Drink if you need to and move on.
Those points in time that you pivot on have no width, no height or depth. If they seem to, it's an illusion that you let your idea of time fool you with.
We use time to mark the events that shape our lives, to count those moments we pivot on.
To sit still and wait for them to come to you, you'll be waiting a lot longer than if you seek them out.
There's no guarantee that the next one will be any better or worse. But you need them to get through life.
A lot of times I feel like I'm lucky, that I have skated right through...
I'm still here, something must have gone right. But when I look back I see nothing but mistakes that I've made.
When I look forward, I see the solutions, what I've learned from those mistakes that I try to leave in the past.
Some mistakes I carry with me, I'm not done learning from them yet.
Some are pretty damn heavy, but they get lighter the more I learn from them.
It's how I lighten my load, so I can run again...
Always looking several or more steps ahead to see what I need to push off from, to leap over.
It feels like flying, only because I think that one day I will be able too.
It doesn't matter if I ever do or not, it's simply the idea that is the point of it.
Everything that I see up ahead to push off from, to keep my momentum up...
Life pivots on them, they are moments in time.
