If you're coastin', You're goin' downhill

This is a quote from a friend of mine. It is one of my favorite quotes and it is SO TRUE! The road is long, but we can't ever stop learning, growing, serving and loving.

Sometimes in life, you feel like all you want is to find a place to be able to "Coast" for a while, but this hectic pace that we all move at will not let us. You can slow down a little; maybe not climb that hill at 100%, but at 50% instead. You can pace yourself so you don't wear out before the finish, but you can't stop pedaling. If you have a family, especially a young family, you know that you are always climbing a hill. When you are climbing a hill and you stop pedaling, you fall over!

That is easier said than done. It takes hours of conditioning for a cyclist to be able to climb those steep, long hills. It is the same with us in life. You don't just wake up one day and "Poof", you're a great; father, mother, manager, employee, friend, or person. Anything is this life worth having or being takes effort and planning.

Start with some goals.

You can start with some small goals that are short term so you can reach them quickly. When you can see you are progressing and moving forward, even if it is small steps, it is positive. When you reach those goals, you can then set some new goals that are harder to reach and farther out.

Soon you will find that you are making some REAL PROGRESS. The people that are able to accomplish great things, are people who set real, meaningful goals.

Take time to set some goals. Do It Right Now! Start pedaling and stop coastin'. You are too important to waste time going downhill.
