Lessons From A High School Dropout

The Wake Doesn’t Move The Aircraft Forward, So Step Into The Flight Deck & Stop Focusing On The Wake

Welcome to Lessons From A High School Dropout!  

Today, I would like to share a short story on why most people get stuck in the turbulence of the wake.  

Your life is like an aircraft. Let’s say the aircraft is heading through the sky at say 240kts.   

Now while your aircraft is traveling through the air you are able to metaphorically stand up on the aft of the aircraft and look back into the trail called the wake.   

Now there goes your life in one direction and you are standing there looking back and you ask yourself these three questions.  

(1) What is the wake? Wake turbulence is turbulence that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air, causing wing-tip vortices. Wake vortices are formed any time an air foil is producing lift.   

(2) What’s driving the aircraft?  The present moment energy that’s being generated by the engine and nothing more!   That’s the only thing powering the aircraft.  Now metaphorically this means it’s the present moment thoughts that I have and how I am using them is driving our lives to move into different directions and nothing more.   

Now the third question is the most important and powerful question of the three questions.  

(3) Is it possible for the wake to power the aircraft? The answer to this question is simply no.   Now we have a propensity to look at our lives and explain it from the stand point of looking back at the wake of our lives and point to all turbulence inside the wake as to why we feel our life is not working the way we would like. 

Well, we are the captain of our ship! We make decisions to listen to others and often that is the distraction that we are not taking control over. 

Today, it's not just those around you in your space at work. It's the social media that so many people allow to drive their thoughts that are likely holding most people back each day. So take a look at what is holding your attention. Your attention is truly vital to your future.    

The dividends don't come from profit, they come from hard work of those who were seeking to better the world. Make a difference in the life as a seeker of knowledge.
