It is harder to stop than start
Stopping has a definite negative vibe. A “hard” stop is like a crash. We like to go, go, go. It seems unnatural to end. And worse, you have to choose something else to start. Just to get to another stop. It’s a nightmare traffic circle.
Roundabout
The first time you drive into a roundabout or circle is very confusing. Usually we just drive in our lane. We even honk at others when they get close to going over the line. Those in the circle look like clown cars as they duck and weave requiring driving sense that is never taught in driver training. It is easy to get caught and just keep going around and around and around.
Stop the nonsense
The best way to get off the circle is to look cautiously and leap. Fast reflexes help and nerves of steel are handy. Others trying not to stop but looking for a way out will notice your cunning tactics and believe that they can screw up enough courage to get off the loop too. What looked like chaos from the sidelines was actually an attempt to weave a way through the standard difficulties we have become accustomed to navigating.
Action creates knowledge
Once you leave the chaos and start looking around for a new direction, you start to understand that you are not the effect of your life. You are the cause of your life. Your jumping off the circle and looking for a defined route is you using knowledge to create action. By taking action, you prove yourself right. When something works for us, it is easier to keep going and avoid a slow down or even a stop.
Invisible problems
You can’t overcome an unknown problem. But when you know the issue, you can examine it and discover a way to resolve it. Taking the time to really check out an issue provides background in handling it more efficiently the next time or totally eliminating another occurrence. Avoiding an unplanned stop keeps the road clear.
Does having to stop affect your momentum? Why is choosing to stop doing something so difficult? Can you just think a new thought and create a new direction?
