Roller Coaster

Click, click, click, click, click…the rollercoaster slowly ratchets up the steep hill, the mechanical track catching the weight of the cars as they are pushed upward towards the man made hill’s crest, there is no turning back now.

The solid rubber harness is pulled tight over your head, pressing down on your shoulders and grinding against your collar bones, pushing against your chest restraining your breath, your neck is unable to turn your head left or right forcing your eyes forward, looking but not seeing what awaits you as the train gets ready to begin its jet speed tumble down the tracks.

And once the cars start their descent, there’s no getting off, there is no pause button, and no do overs.

The game is on.

Maybe your life feels a bit like that. The weight of your daily duties presses down on you. Do you seek the rush of adrenaline that comes from jumping into new projects even when you don’t know how it will end up?

Do you feel pressure to keep moving up the hill of accomplishment? Do you feel like it’s impossible to keep up with the pace of change and the urgency of performance?If you feel one of these feelings, then you’re not alone. These are common pressures in the world we live in.

But there is Good News. We can have the thrill of the ride, without the spills.

“Why worry about the lilies of the field?”
