It’s metaphorically perfect to describe life’s monotonous cycles to the wheel because it is a cycle. It is where most of us will spend our time in this life.
Most of us will step off the wheel, whether to fall back or step forward. The ones that fall back, have gotten lost into their past life of mistakes making it even harder to surpass the wheel. The ones that step forward, will take a few small steps and revert to the comfort of the wheel. Some of the ones that step forward will grab a hold of that forward momentum and keep pushing, but even they too will find themselves on the wheel again. Like a tragic addiction, even though they know the outcome, they find solace in the arms of comfort.
It is what lies ahead, in the unknown, that everything they ever wanted exists. The road is straight, yet there are many wheels along the way. Those wheels that they spin symbolize the complacency they are addicted to. Complacency is easy. It is effortless.
As soon as they step off of the wheel, the first push is hard, but it is the steps in the future of their forward progression that will be the most difficult. Because life isn’t a test of whether or not one can get off the wheel, we all get off the wheel. It is a test of ones endurance and grit that will keep them off the wheel so that they can experience the things unseen and not yet experienced.
Give yourself the chance to remain off the wheel. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. If for some reason you find yourself back on the wheel, jump off as soon as you realize you are spinning.
