Again a young boy saw his favorite uncle from the window and ran out the door without his shoes, he soon ran into a piece of broken bottle he had thrown out the previous night, he was forced to stop and it was obviously painful.
Either it is going fine for now or we have run into one of those broken bottles on the track of life like
that young boy, we all need to at one point or the other apply a stop.
I would like to explain using the concept of a well-known sport which is car racing; formula 1 is one of the competitions in that sport. In a pit stop competitors make grounds beyond the driver that stops. However, the car that made the additional pit stop will run faster on the race track than cars that did not make the stop, both because it can carry a smaller amount (and thus lower weight) of fuel, and will also have less wear on its tires, providing more traction and allowing higher speeds in the corners. Not to mention that failure to have a pit stop may eventually lead to a forced
stop.
So Stopping can be applied to things as little as crossing the road and something as big as a processing a thought. Life is a race, a struggle to stay in track among other things, there would forever be a debate on who you are racing against, the best I have found is your previous best effort. It’s a fact that life is 30% what happens to us and 70% how we respond to it, so if you currently have a forced stop in life the best reaction to it would be to convert it into a pit stop. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, we all need to at one time or the other retreat, rethink and re-strategize. Really it should be often.
WHAT YOU GAIN FROM STOPPING.
Avoid collision: gives u chance to outline your principles and create some if you don't have one and this helps you avoid confusion from another person's principle or lack of it. Increase Speed: to achieve goals many times is about being at the right place at the right time and it takes a slow person to arrive later. Pit stops give us the time to learn vital skills, gather information and meditate on them. You also get to drop the unneeded.
And Finally
Tackle the Reason for problem and not the cause of it: So if your stop is a forced one converted into a
pit stop, you should learn not to be like the young man I mentioned earlier who thinks he was stopped
by a piece of broken, the truth is he was stopped by the action he took previously, somebody else
would say he was stopped because he had no shoes
on. A Stop makes gives you the chance to think of
the reason you have problems and not the cause of
the problem.
Remember to stop, rethink and restrategize.
Remember to do it frequently.
