The Art of Leaving Fulcrum

The Art of Leaving

Sometimes the Art of Leaving means shifting the weight in your life. Reprioritize! Every season change we have to get our wheels realigned and rebalanced. The road to your success and the road to your breakdown is on the same highway.  Perhaps, the roadway is paved by the condition of your heart. Their is a Godly way to endure the roadway breakdown. Suffer the breakdown  according to the will of God. Count it all Joy! Flex! Be Flexible! Spiritually Flex. Balance the load. Spiritually balance Fulcrum the Load! I can Fulcrum all things through Christ who me. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phil. 4:13

Life will never give you a balanced load. So, Lever the load. God will give you wisdom to balance the load. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mnemonic A mnemonic for remembering the three classes of levers is the word flex, where the letters f-l-e represent the fulcrum, the load, and the effort as being between the other two, in the first-class lever, the second-class lever, and the third-class lever respectively

How to avoid a meltdown after the breakdown

What or who fills or drains your tank? 
  • Make a list of activities that make you come alive
  • Find a lightning rod
  • Discipline your daily devotions
  • Lead out of rest. Tired eyes rarely see a good future. 
  • The beginning of the day begins with rest. 
  • Preserve 11 PM -3am Rem Sleep
  • Go to bed early The early night side of sleep is preferable. It is better than getting up late in the morning.
  • Balance your life according to the principle of Fulcrum. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, follow your heart, Flexibility,  and humor.
  • Fulcrum Examples: There are three classes of levers representing variations in the location of the fulcrum and the input and output forces.
  • First-class levers
    1. Seesaw (also known as a teeter-totter)
    2. Crowbar (removing nails)
    3. Pliers (double lever)
    4. Scissors (double lever)
    5. Wheel and axle because the wheel's motions follows the fulcrum, load arm, and effort arm principle
    6. Trebuchet an upside down example of the above picture
    7. Oars, when used for rowing, steering, or sculling

    Second-class levers

    1. Wheelbarrow
    2. Nutcracker
    3. Door

    Third-class levers

      1. Human arm
      2. Tweezers
      3. Catapult and fishing rod (catapults that act as a see-saw, catapulting their load when something of great mass lands on the board on the opposite side of the fulcrum are first-class levers. Third-class catapults would be similar to the following: take a bobby-pin and bend it so that it looks like the upper-case letter "L." Then, take one arm and staple it to a wooden board. Then bend the free arm towards the stapled arm, and if released, this can be used to send things flying! You have just made yourself a third-class catapult.)
      4. Any number of tools, such as a hoe or scythe
      5. The main body of a pair of nail clippers, in which the handle exerts the incoming force
      6. A baseball bat
      7. A shovel
      8. A broom
