Think back and remember the story of The Little engine That Could. It was really about an engineer behind the throttle of a very powerful locomotive who wanted to get over-the-hill to get to see the other side. (That's my version anyway). But the little engine (personalize as an obstacle or fear) was afraid to cooperate because it had be so conditioned to believe the lies of others who said 'you'll never amount to much of anything...your engine is too little!'

But the Engineer (God) was a Life Coach to the little engine (humans) and stuck to doing the task that He it had created the engine to do.

When the engine did whatever it had to do, believing that the Engineer loved the engine so much that He would never take the engine into a situation that was not achieveable with faith (Hebrews 11:1) then using the energy it had to be better conditioned to deal with the bumps, the dents, the de-railments, the schedule delays from the uphill climbs of life, trusting in The Engineer's ability to guild the engine made the journey easier. So and inch by inch, the hard parts of the uphill climb seemed not so tough--and the close the engine got to the crest of its struggle, it peeked over the top, and found that with no effort at all it pick'd up speed 40 times the speed happily rolling down the same hill that used to be such a struggle.

Does your engine of life seem like an uphill struggle? How do you desire it to be? What kind of Engineer is guiding your locomotive, and are you in the right position to stop climbing uphill with no end in sight?

The struggles of Life should be a victory smooth sailing downhill with the right people cheering you on...not an uphill struggle that gets you nowhere but stalled out and sliding futher down hill than where you started. --from cynth'ya's original workshop: 'Winners, Start Your Engines'

To do,
or not...
to analyze
the who's
the what's
the when's
the where's
the how's and
why's of doing
someone doing
something doing
whatever wherever
and however for reasons
that mostly are not our own
brings us to the dubious conclusion
"please someone tell me what to do"
when the people of the world stage will
do us in-out-up-down-around-until they are
through doing us, there's nothing left to really do
but wonder who did what to whom and why we didn't
just get up-move our-move around & let's do it ourselves!!!

Applause!
Awesome write.
The power of "getting things done" spurs the growth of self confidence. Then we can undo some of the things that they did!!
Best regards,
Chris
