"Like a roller coaster, my mind had climbed its way to the top ...
only to witness how far there was to fall. And like a coaster,
the second fear hit, my stomach plummeted with the drop."
Katherine McIntyre
In life, there are times we are called to be courageous and brave. When we began, we were probably thinking about increasing our focus or being more determined. Momentum picks up and like a roller coaster, we are moving up the track. We may glance over our shoulder to see the distance we have traveled, but there is no turning back.
When we find our lovely selves at the pinnacle of our destination, we may feel a momentary high, a disbelief we have actually pushed so far, and a passing sense of success or gratification. No one, however, stays at the top. The time spent up on the peak never lasts.
The roller coaster begins its descent and picks up speed. Our heart drops to our bellies with the over whelming thought of needing to start something new all over again. We surmount one obstacle only to discover another waiting at the end of the ride.
