Catching the Wind in Your Wings

I took the dog for a walk today, and was treated to the spectacle of a bird (don't ask what sort, I haven't a clue!) playing in the wind (or looking for food perhaps...who knows!). His wings flapped as he sought to catch the wind, and then he glided, until he started to lose height by losing that sweet spot where the wind carried him, he flapped 2 or 3 times to get back in the wind and continued gliding.

It was an amazing thing to watch...and got me thinking - how often do we go flapping round insanely, ignoring the fact that there is a glorious updraft there to support if only we flew a bit smarter? And once we find that updraft, we only need a few lazy maintenance 'flaps' to keep us in the flow, where we can circle effortlessly and enjoy our flight.

Sound good? Take a moment to think now about how you make your life harder by 'flapping' too much.
