Forgive and Forge Ahead

Clear Fit Coaching

We often cite the potential of a project or ambition; new business or fitness plan – telling ourselves and others about the great things we can do with some effort and time. But how often do we catch ourselves telling this story for too long? Or stop telling it with time because we’ve not taken the action to get things going. And this is where the safety of the situation is often unacknowledged. A rocket on the launchpad is relatively safe. We can see the potential – talk of the amazing things we’ll accomplish – and share the design of the craft and direction we’re looking to explore.

But ignition brings a whole new set of risks. Inertia works against the mental and spiritual pursuits as much as it does the physical. Building momentum is hard. And risky. Scary even. The first steps are often the hardest! We consume the most fuel at launch, but once we get some movement, inertia can start working for us, too. Acceleration becomes less costly.

And now we start to learn. This is when the rewards come. Yes, the safety of the pad can help us to conserve energy – maintain the day-to-day and familiar – but it’s only with the launch that we grow.
