This is my first blog ever!
I had a terrific meeting with international dance and fitness celebrity Pepper Von today. http://www.localheroesproductions.com/view.php?id=23&cat=31
Pepper taught me the slingshot analogy today. He explained that the farther back a rock is pulled, the faster and farther it will go when it is released.
Most everybody loves to launch forward, but not too many of us like the feeling of going back. In fact, Pepper explained, we hinder our growth by resisting the natural unfoldment of stepping back and regrouping, and our resistence limits the amount of forward momentum we could eventually have if we were willing to trust the process.
When we resist, we feel all of the exertion of work, but we are robbed of the positive results. When are ready to panic because we feel that our life is going in the wrong direction, it may just be that the tension we are temporarily feeling is preparing us for our next giant leap forward.
Thanks, Pepper. I love you, brother.

It seems this type of year it is especially important to tune into one's own natural instinct to slow down, regroup, and get ready to move forward. Thank you, Nick, for the thoughtful post.
