Recently my 8-year old niece has been around. She’s visited frequently because of all the activity with my wife being pregnant. The other day, she was playing with my 2-year old son using an empty infant swimming pool as her toy. My son had one side, she had the other, and she would pull it around waving it up and down singing “Let’s go fly a kite…” A song I sang when I was about her age. My son would soon say “I love this song” as he laughed with the activity.
Kites are fun, which brings us to this week’s quote…
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind. ~ John Neal
If you’ve every tried to fly a kite on a day when it was too calm, it is really frustrating. You may run a little way tot ry to make it rise; it does for a brief moment, then descends. Ugh! That is similar to finally getting the “perfect” opportunity to do something.
When conditions seem perfect, they may not actually be. The time to start may be now, in the midst of having some opposition.
Don’t look for “calm” times to do something, use the wind to your advantage, allowing you to “rise”!
