FLYING BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS

Many people dread going to the airport. I LOVE IT! There is a lot of hustle a bustle. Everyone is either going someplace or coming back from someplace. We don’t go to the airport to stay in one place. So you can imagine my disappointment when we were just about to take off this morning.the pilot informed us we would be sitting on the tarmac for at least 30 minutes while we wait for the weather to clear at our destination. I didn’t get on this plane to go nowhere! So here I sit at me seat looking ot the window at my seat watching planes land as I type. It’s actually a pretty bad ass view. I love flying. The best part is take off and landing. Fourteen years ago I got my pilot’s license and truly appreciate the art of takeoffs and landings. In fact, if we follow the life pattern at the airport we would all be champions in the game of life. These are some of the ways we should all live our lives according to what hapens at the airport.

1. Be prepared for your journey before it begins. Following this one rule will make your journey much smoother and more enjoyable.
2. Always be headed somewhere and despise going nowhere.
3. Know your destination. Having a target and a plan always helps you get where you want to go.
4. The less baggage you bring with you, swifter you will be able to move forward.
5. Don’t be afraid to allow others with more experience pilot your journey for you.
6. If you need a little help along the way, just ask for it and you will get what you need.
7. Make friends with the people around you and ask about their journey, you never know what you will learn or if you will make a friend.
8. Getting started always takes the most energy. You burn the most fuel and expend the most energy. But once you take off and get to cruising altitude you can dial back the energy and cruise a little.
9. Know your exit strategy BEFORE you take off. Takeoff and cruising are awesome, but a crash landing isn’t fun for anyone.

Are you moving toward your goals, or have you parked your plane on the tarmac? Hate standing still in life as much or more than you hate sitting in a plane on the tarmac waiting to begin your journey. Fall in love with moving toward your goal, even if you don’t know the route. GO FOR IT AND DON’T LOOK BACK!
