I like that. The Slingshot Effect. There’s also the Rubber Band Effect … When you try and drag someone with you who is stuck. You pull them along for awhile because they want to make you happy. But eventually they stay put and you get all tangled and battered from either being slung back towards them, OR from having the Rubber Band break and snapping you upside the head!

It creates tension and it’s that tension that creates the energy that propels the object in the slingshot forward.

Many people, when they experience tension in their lives, see it as a negative. However, if they are able to alter their perspective, they will see that tension and stress as an opportunity; an opportunity to take their lives to heights they had never imagined possible. It really comes down to choice. Choosing to harness the tension and using it to move forward or choosing to collapse under its pressure and fall backwards in life.

We decide.

This was a blast. Everyone should have a blog, and WordPress is a piece of cake. Who knew? I put it off because I thought it would take weeks. Now I know.
