Some of us jolt along through our days havâ€" ing an exciting time but spending most of our energy bumping up and down instead of going forward. Sometimes we bump because the road is new, sometimes we have not learned how to manage our maâ€" chines, but most often because we are just riding without a clear idea of where we want to land.
