Arrow

October 18th, 2010

When we think about an arrow speeding towards the target, we imagine just a straight line of acceleration. What we fail to see is that before that arrow took flight it had to go backwards in the archer’s bow. It had to go backwards, building up the tremendous force it needed to carry it all the way to the target. Sometimes our lives feel like they are going backwards. “Oh no, I’m in debt again” “Oh no, this person is just like that other person” “Oh no, I’ve gained weight again” “Oh no, another crisis”. If you dispense with all the worry and fear and drama, you will understand that this is exactly what is necessary to propel you towards your target and it is a sure sign that you are ready to fly. Whatever is happening in your life, know that the Archer wants you to go forward. If it appears that you are under pressure and going backwards, rejoice! It means that it’s just about launch time.

Calm yourself down, be positive and tell the Archer that you are ready and you will soon be going towards your target faster than you can imagine.
