    LIFE FLIGHT  According to the Air Traffic Controllers Association, 87,000 flights crisscross the United States, every day. With a population of over 300 million people there are countless dreams and aspirations filling our air space. Gifts and talents, robed in passion, attempt to take-off and land successfully every minute of the day. Over-booking is more common than the average person notices. [caption id="attachment_728" align="alignleft" width="278"]possibilities Image courtesy of Janine Forder via LinkedIn[/caption] Over half a million people were voluntarily or involuntarily denied boarding a scheduled commercial flight, in 2015. (Bureau of Transportation Statistics) If there was a way to actually see, how many people had their dreams grounded, we could all share in the collective disappointment. It's empowering indeed to be able to order discouragement off your plane. It's legal for Airlines to overbook flights for the sole purpose of insuring their success. They need us but, aren't afraid to abuse us, when it serves them. We can fill our plane with too much and too many. We can't do everything; we aren't meant too. It's all to common to spread ourselves so thin that we aren't proficient at anything. Many of us are too busy to be successful. Talk about turbulence! Rising above the clouds is about being able to do more of what you want and less of what you don't. Some things are not within our control. Many things are. Sometimes we have excess baggage. We can carry it with us, if we are willing, to pay the high rate for the privilege. If we will take the time to analyze, value verses cost, we can streamline our travel experience. Things like self-doubt, fear, and intimidation are unnecessary items. Removing them from our luggage makes for a more pleasurable flight. Flight Path The unexpected can happen, anytime. Careful planning can help minimize negative effects or manage jubilation. If what we don't want shows up, it can throw us into chaos. Even getting what we hope for, can catch us off guard, and cause our plane to shake, rattle, and roll. [caption id="attachment_1042" align="alignright" width="275"]orbit-free-pic-on-pixabay Image courtesy of pixabay[/caption] Prioritizing requires honesty and  sound decision-making. Keeping goals out in front eases inner conflicts. The new trend is to manage tasks instead of time. We should protect ourselves from the illusion, that all activity is productive. We can work tirelessly without getting the results we're looking for. Doing things that lose sight of our mission is a trap to be avoided. Most people relax once takeoff is accomplished. We mustn't forget the importance of landing. Success never just happens. Our daily routine must include an inspection of our flight controls. If we hope to get air-born and safely touch down in our deepest aspirations, it's a good idea to insure everything is working properly. Repairs are wisely done on the ground. Lots of effort is used up on things that aren't getting us any closer to accomplishing our dreams. Many things that are distasteful or unpleasant, must be attended to, if we hope to see progress. TRAVEL AGENT I used to travel often. Back when flight crews were fun and the skies were friendly. More often than not, nowadays, your treated like a cold-hearted obligation or even an inconvenience. How dare you board our plane with any expectation of quality care! Too many service providers have forgotten, or decided against, great service. I appreciate quality and attention to detail. Something I encourage is a customer first mentality. [caption id="attachment_712" align="alignleft" width="308"]hangglider by pampy96 on commons.wikimedia Image courtesy of pampy96 via commons.wikimedia[/caption] Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you! Then treat others the same way. Distance yourself from haters and dissenters. You are within your rights to bump them from your flight. Your success might depend on your willingness to exercise courage. One reason there are so many flights is because everyone is not going to the same place. Success will forever be a foreign country to some. Once you decide where you are going you can work on your passport. Since we define success for ourselves we educate accordingly. Jack Canfield and many other experts travelers, offer this frequent flyer tip; "success is found in your daily routine."
