Keep moving as much as possible as you make your way through life and the living of it

Every day during my drive through the neighborhood I see this tiny windmill in a neighbor’s yard. It is always spinning like crazy and it’s a great sight to see.

What’s so special about it? Well, it’s small but so exciting to watch, as it spins like nothing else even with just a little bit of wind in the air.

That got me thinking about life. I hear these sad, heartbreaking stories from people in my life and it weighs me down. But then I remember that I have my own life to live and I need to keep moving, keep pushing myself, and keep spinning like a little hyperkinetic windmill.

Keep Moving

Above all else, we have to keep moving in life, keep progressing towards one or more goals that we set for ourselves. We cannot be complacent about our life or position in the world. We can’t stop either, and give up on the future when there are so many opportunities on this planet.

There are so many wonderful positive chances that we are given, many of which we know nothing about because they haven’t happened yet.
