Imagine for a moment that you are driving down the road and you take a look at your gas tank and it says that you have 1/4 of a tank left. You take a look at the mileage that that will take you and depending upon the car that you have it could be 100 miles, 75 miles which of course is also influenced by your style of driving.
You’re in a bit of a rush, and you see a gas station and you make an instantaneous decision that you do not have the time to stop. You continue on your journey and as you do the amount of gas you have continues to deplete. You begin to shudder in fear that you have enough to get you either to your destination or the next station.
Lucky for you, you get to where you’re going with an eighth of a tank. You do what you need to and then set out on the journey again and now you’re in a frantic search to get your car the energy that it needs to take you to your next destination. Your biggest fear is stalling out.
Do we do the same thing with the energy levels in our life? Do we wait until it is fully depleted before we either try to energize ourselves, physically or mentally. Do we wait till we are all run down and then quite frankly say “ I’m too tired, I don’t want to go anymore” and you stall?
Everyday when we begin our journey by putting our feet on the floor and getting out of bed, that’s the exact time to fill our bodies and our mental acuteness to its fullest level. But take caution so that midday when you’ve used up some of which you stored up in the morning you’re not beginning to run on empty. Refocus that inner motivation, that inner drive to ensure that the day’s journey is filled with the achievements and accomplishments that you are so capable of pursuing and completing.
You’re the one that steers the car and steps on the gas, you’re the one that steers your daily balance in your life’s journey that continuously moves forward in the direction that you choose by simply maintaining your passion and drive for a fulfilling journey of life.
