Do you ever walk on quiet lonely trails?...Life has many lonely roads. Some we choose to take. Others we just find ourselves upon. Our view and perspective is usually what makes the difference.

When you find yourself on a lonely quiet road of life, slow down and look around.

A crankshaft is a hardened piece of metal at the base of the engine block that turns the pistons of a combustion engine. It’s sole purpose is to turn over and over and over again for the life of the engine. It has a boring function, and absolutely necessary.

Routines are the crankshaft of our life. Routines are processes of doing things over and over and over again to push, turn, and operate the parts that create power.

Life is like a crankshaft, it is only through daily routines that the potential of your life gets created into explosive power to be transferred to movement systems in our lives. Movement is action. Action moves us forward.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep, and wonder what to do with the time? Wakeless nights are a lot like life, they seem like freely given time that is just calling out to you to fill. Life is like a sleepless night. Time is given as a gift. We can use the time or fill the time. What we choose to do with it reflects what inspires us or what holds us back.

Books are the stories we tell ourselves. Life is the story we are telling ourselves everyday. Life is like a book. Books are the stories that we read or internally speak to ourselves. Life is the story we continually tell ourselves about our past and what it means for us today and the possibilities for tomorrow. Life and the life we live is the sum total of our beliefs and stories that we have about ourselves today.

What is your favorite song? You know that one that reminds you of a time when you first heard it? Back when I was a kid, it was the last era of record stores. If you heard a song on the radio, you'd go to the record store and buy it. Singles played at 45 RPMs...  Life's anchors can hold you to something good or keep you bogged down to things not good. The anchors you place in your boat of life are what define your journey.

Life is about beginnings, endings, and beginnings again. Everything we experience in life is a beginning. We wake up and begin a new day. We lay down to sleep and end that day. We close our eyes and fade off into dreamland and begin an unconscious journey into our minds and whatever connection that has to the Universe. We end the night of sleep by waking up and again beginning a new day. Life is one big cycle of beginnings, endings and beginning again.

Isn't funny how we all want the answer to the Meaning of Life, but when the answer doesn't make sense, we stop and do not consider it very deeply?
