The Beauty in Things I Could Complain About

The Beauty in Momentum Being Slow to Gain

When you first start running on a treadmill, you have to ease your way to accelerated speeds or you will trip, slide back and end up on your backside.  When you drive a stick shift, you have to shift into first gear (the hardest of all shift changes in my opinion) and then work your way up before you can get to 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear and coast in higher speeds.  When there are things taking off in our lives the first steps and processes can seem daunting and snail-slow starting.  Often times the journey to the higher speeds in our personal and professional lives require more than a few steps at one pace or even figuring out the balance and finesse of gas and clutch, but then we are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in the building, the Beauty in preparing yourself for the steady pace, the Beauty in resting when you can, the Beauty in cherishing the process, the Beauty in that precise moment you feel the change pick up, the Beauty in momentum being slow to gain.
