Road Trip

Imagine your progress journey is a road trip. Here are a few reminders:

• You don’t have to “floor it” to move forward.

• The car moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake.

  You don’t have to go from 0-60. You just have to stop stopping yourself.

• Most journeys begin by putting the car in reverse and backing up.

  Backtracking and reflecting may be an essential part of your journey.
  Don’t resist it.

• White-knuckling the wheel doesn’t make the car go any faster. You can ease up.

• The setup matters: map your route, adjust your seat, buckle your seatbelt, put the car in drive… this phase is also part of the journey. Don’t skip it!

• Enjoying the ride and the scenery won’t stop you from reaching your destination.

  Denying pleasure and peace along the way isn’t helping you as much as you think it is.

• You do, in fact, have a speed limit. Obey it to keep yourself safe. (avoid burnout)

Whatever road you’re moving down, I wish you a safe and rewarding journey!
