Wind
(page 2)
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon... it sounds romantic, but it's true — the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine — a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you — what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind — you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy.
