it's just like riding a bike

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

-Albert Einstein

when riding a bike, we can't just "sit" there. we need to move: peddling (making movements) in small or big ways. nonetheless, moving creates action, action brings balance.  the action of peddling will not only bring balance, so we don't fall off the bike, but also moves us forward. once we stop moving the momentum stops, balancing becomes nearly impossible and we fall, perhaps even get stuck.

 the same is true "off the bike" (wink, wink). when we stop moving, stop making an effort to move forward in small and big ways, finding balance is just not going to happen. it has been a challenging few years for us all. many of us are feeling “stuck.” it can be hard to figuring out how to get moving forward again, establishing what life post-pandemic is, what it means, what it looks like, feels like. living your life with a sense of purpose, vitality, and joy is just like riding a bike.  get back on and start moving. as you start moving, take time to enjoy the ride, too.

if we don't move, we’re just wobbling around in the same place… and it’s harder to keep from falling down. we may stay down because we’ve lost forward motion. thus, we think "i can't do this."   yes, you can!  the ability to move forward in a balanced way IS just like riding a bike.  just get back on the bike.  ;)

light your lamp & you light the world
