Pedal Faster

Pedal Faster

Tonight I went for a walk with my neighbor four-year-old son. He rode
his bike next to me as I walked. This was going to be our
farthest excursion yet on his new bike.

We started out fine, but he was having difficulty riding over
some gravel on the sidewalk. I told him he needed to pedal
faster to keep from getting stuck. That did the trick.

The same thing happened when we started to walk uphill. Once
again, I told him he needed to pedal harder and faster to make
it up the hill. Then came the downhill part. I told him that
he would need to use his brakes to slow down if he felt like
he was going too fast. That's when I had my Jan Bagwell Moment!

I thought to myself, this very lesson that I am teaching him,
could apply to any adult's life including my own!

When you are having a tough time in life, like gravel in the
road, you need to keep going. If you don't, you will end up
stuck in a rut. When you are struggling to reach your goals or
to reach the top of the hill, you need to try harder and not
give up.

It also seems that when you are in a "good" place in life, you
take it for granted. If you feel like you are going too fast,
use your brakes and slow down a bit. Take in the scenery and
enjoy what you have.
