Positive Vibes
People and places on earth put off an energy vibration and the vibe you put out is the vibe you attract. Learn to find balance with energy transmitted from natural elements:
Earth - the notion that durable metals come from the earth. Welcome to the machine by Pink Floyd comes to mind as I become one with my Carbon Fiber bike transcending the earths landscape. The constriction of life's material possessions during our time on earth vs. the legacy we leave behind.
Water - the notion we live in a water world, water is the source of life and you have to accept the tides rather than fight them. I need to spend more time immersed in water. The sound of water in my backyard is calming. I need to taste the fountain of youth at 11K feet at Rae Lakes this year drinking water at the source.
Air - the motion of air is needed where we live in the valley. My collapsed lung and continued asthma is a health issue tied to where I live. I need to go to the mountains and the beach where the air is pure. I need to hear wind climbs indicating when I can breathe deep on an outside run.
Fire - the stories to be told when gathered with friend by the fire. The destruction to our wilderness and the rebirth of new. A great story can be told like the phoenix rising from the fires ashes.
Space - the void of clutter aka Aether. The wide open country roads we train on. The places we go to seek solitude away from the overpopulation epidemic. The weight lifted from us when the clutter is cleared. The beauty of simplicity.

Let your brain go down the rabbit hole
The Social Hive
The voice in your head is on a path of not being excited,
pursuing things with lack of passion. So much opportunity in this world, but to
lazy. Its a fear of standing out or
failing when trying to exceed society norms.
There is so much opposition pushing back to emulated behavior and
patterns of average society, like a bee in the hive.
The Wolf Pack
The voice in your head discovers a spark. Motivation gets you going. A decision to push yourself and feel what
your capable of. Stepping up to
accepting the challenge to go further than you have in the past. This is the momentum you take ownership to
improvement your discipline. You seek
others to emulated behavior and patterns of successful members of this new
community, like a pack of wolves with an alpha male.
The Rabbit Hole
The voice in your head is on a path of being obsessed. Continuously working to improve. If motivation got you going, commitment keeps
you going. You are authentic and honest
about differences between your mindset and their mindset, your current state and your future state and the new behavior and patterns required
to beat the odds. Your self-awareness has
increased to new levels of mindfulness for correct patterns, rhythm, cadence to
perfect your craft. Social distractions are
inevitable but you stick to your goals getting deeper with intensity and focus
in your discipline.
The Hat Trick
The voice in your head knows it’s the day of execution. You’ve done everything you can to get to this
moment, it’s a defining moment. When you work hard at something, its rewarding
when its over. Victories are sweeter
because you've pushed through adversity to get there. In this moment, you are in your element. One of life's strongest imprints is to know
you've controlled yourself in the situation using that hat trick you have
mastered.
