Kedging. A nautical maneuver used to draw a vessel along by hauling it on the cable of a light anchor that has been dropped at some distance from it.
If there were a magical bullet in life -- and there is not -- but if there were, it would probably be kedging. Originally this was a nautical term. When sailors were becalmed, they would literally pull their vessel forward by using another boat to set an anchor.
There are times in our lives when we too can get stuck. Kedging means climbing out of the ordinary by setting a big goal for yourself and working like crazy to get there. It's making a long-term plan and then doing it. Maybe it's a hike in the Rockies or white-water rafting in Utah or climbing the Alps. Most "kedges" require training before you do them. But the anticipation gives shape and purpose to your daily routine.
The takeaway here is very simple. Find something you love and go for it. And don't be afraid to try something new. Don't miss a single opportunity to make it something you enjoy.
Kedging. Weird sounding, I know. But it works.
