Wings are essential for a flight which must take place in space dominated by the wind, the flyer must master the best use of his wings in the winds to ensure he wins big.
When the direction of flight is opposite the direction of air current, the wind constitutes opposition and disruption, requiring more energy and time to get to hit a milestone.
But when there is alignment in the direction of flight and air current, the wind serves as accelerator and a senior partner in the adventure.
Our speed in life is enhanced when we have more forces pushing us forward than those dragging us backwards. As such, one way to achieve this is not to identify opposing wind currents and profile them for isolation and battle, it is to profile them and see how best to ride on the wings of their current to take us to key junctions in our journey, since obviously they are not going to our destination. That way, we reduce friction around us and conserve energy for acceleration
Winning on wings is not necessarily winning in the absence of opposing wind currents. It is a strategic win, where what would have delayed you is conditioned to drive you on. It is a smart win against factors and actors that detract, so that energies are synergized for progressive activities instead of wasting away in allergic face offs.
Obviously, we cannot control the winds, but we can control our wings in the flight. We must therefore fly with advanced information and wisdom to ensure we soar unhindered irrespective of the dynamics of the air current on our space
