• Choose the right bike -mountain, road, hybrid. Bikes are not "one size fits all". Neither is life. Choose the right way for you to navigate your own unique path through life. Regardless of other people's opinion about your journey.
• Maintain your equipment - good brakes, proper tire inflation, lights for night riding. Proper nutrition and rest helps us to do our best in our travels. (This from the woman who thinks the day a failure unless it includes a modest helping of chocolate.)
• Know your route. The end goal helps us to take the right directions along the path.
• Watch your speed. Flying through life can cause loss of control, in addition to the possibility of missing something important along the way.
• Maintain your balance. Too much fun/leisure can cause distraction from those things worth effort and work.
• Share the trail/road. Selfishness doesn't help anyone.
• Pay attention. Focus not only on the road directly in front (so as to avoid obstacles) but also the road a bit ahead. Helps us to maintain perspective.
• Enjoy the journey. It isn't a race. It isn't a competition. This journey is meant to be full of love, learning, joy, compassion and every other emotion and experience to help us to return to Heavenly Father with our honor and integrity intact. Having done all we could to further His work on earth.
Absurd? Trivial? Yep. I never professed to be a deep thinker. Do I have all the answers? Not even close. Just sharing my morning bike ride thoughts.
