When we were children on the playground, one of the customary things we found ourselves playing was on a swing.  In the process, we had to build momentum before we could get to a full swing.  I was contemplating this as it relates to life. We need to push ourselves a little at first in our attempt to build enough force to take us higher.  The ability to generate power begins with oneself and then we generate the propulsion needed to help us reach our desired state.  When thinking about how you will arrive at your next planned step in life, remember to swing.  If you feel stuck or not seeing the next step ahead, then do some rocking back and forth until you feel yourself moving forward. Pushing yourself each day a little bit at a time, will enable you to feel the wind in your face and then you will come to the realization that you have created the optimal opportunity for change.  Once you get moving, seek to reach higher.  Similar to how we did as a children on the swings, the higher we go the bigger the smile.
