Harnessing your momentum.

"You've seen my decent... Now watch my rising."

~Rumi

Falling meets the definition of momentum, but perhaps not the best outcome - or is it?

I read something that said, 'A child learning to walk falls 50 times in a day...Do you ever hear her say 'This isn't for me?'  As I considered the subject of momentum, I had to think about the natural forces that perpetuate it. Gravity is one of the main ones, and I've dealt with it's powerful ways in my life many times. We all know that feeling of flailing arms or sliding legs - head soaring forward toward whatever it meets first. I've learned a lot about slowing down and being aware from the natural forces that control momentum. But I've also discovered something else.

At those most forceful and energetic bursts of momentum, I can become better at controlling the outcome.

The experience I've added to my knowledge base is worth nothing if it is not noted and utilized. Like the toddler learning to walk while falling 50 times, my battles with gravity and friction show me what forces within me need to be strengthened in order to harness the momentum. It might be muscular, or improved vision, or as simple as not wearing those shoes... But I have learned from my past battles with the power of out of controlled momentum. So have you if you stop and think about it.

So resolve to win against whatever gravitational friction is keeping you tumbling.

Find your best resources for harnessing.

Let them watch you soar.

Cheers.
