No Matter What, Keep Pedaling
An empowering message of hope
Albert Einstein summarized well a real facet of life in his quote:
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
Indeed; the place in which you find yourself now isn’t your final destination. In the past you have experienced amazing things in life and some less amazing, and so will be the future that is ahead of you. You will get to experience some memorable moments and less memorable in the journey ahead. Isn’t that what makes life fascinating? That uncertainty, that possible opportunity of being surprised on the way, of things to go both ways?
As long as we live, all of us humans on this earth experience highs and laws. No one ever stayed all high all their life or forever law. Just the same like heart beats on a monitor: it goes up and then down = that’s a healthy monitoring. It shows that the patient is alive. And we all know what means a monitoring that is linear. This meaning that as long as the heart beat is going up and down, so will life. That is inevitable.
It is important to remember this especially in the law periods. When you find yourself into shit, don’t stay in there, rise up and keep on walking. Keep on waking up every morning. Each new day we get to live is a miracle. I mean, when you go to sleep in the evening and your conscious gets shut down while you’re asleep, which guarantee do you have that when the sun rise again you will still be of this world? None. What happens during the night is the work of God, and waking up each morning is a blessing, a gift.
In his book “The Last Lecture”, Randy Pausch reminds us that the roadblocks we meet on the way are there for a purpose and how time is the only thing we’ve got:
“Time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think” — Randy Pausch
We have a choice, we don’t need to be faced with a tragedy to realise and internalise this. Let’s size each moment, live it and be grateful that we are still part of this reality, this world, now.
As Norwegians would say: “takk for meg” = thank you.
Until next time, stay well hydrated, look up and walk as if you were on stage — the stage of your precious life.
One love 💜
