Life is Like Riding a Bicycle

"Life is similar to riding a bicycle, you'll go nowhere unless you're willing to do the peddling."
-- Michael J. Dillon

POINT TO PONDER: It's your bicycle (life)! You're responsible for where your bicycle goes, nobody else. Your bicycle can take you anywhere you want to go. The two wheels on your bicycle know no restrictions. Where you take your bicycle, and how far you take it, will be dependent on how much you're willing to peddle. If you're not willing to peddle, your bicycle is going nowhere; no peddling means no movement.

Life is full of twist and turns, detours and obstructions, and mounds and hills. You can handle life's twists and turns if you stay focused, keep your eyes on the road, and keep peddling. Understand that life's detours and obstructions are meant to challenge you and help you grow. You can handle life's detours and obstructions if you're willing to accept change, learn new and different routes along the way, and keep peddling. You can make it up life's hills and over life's mounds, if you maintain faith, learn to practice self-discipline, and most importantly, keep peddling. Keep in mind, it's also important that you take time to relax and enjoy those moments when life allows you to stop peddling and coast for awhile; just don't coast too long, because in life in order to get somewhere you have to be willing to do the peddling!

Keep peddling and enjoy the ride!

It's your life: live it, love it, & celebrate it!
