I'm Off to See the Wizard

BROOKLYN_BORN

It may not be made of yellow bricks and it doesn't end at the Land of Oz, but it is a path well-worth following.

There are general directions posted. There are guidelines for nutrition and calorie ranges, tracking tools, and articles to read. Then there are teams and challenges to join. These are like the side roads or "paths to overlooks" that I travel in reality where I live. They lead me to a view of the entire countryside. I can see where I've been and where I'm going. I even meet travelers with the same destination as I have.

How to manage such a huge area of cyberspace? How do we each find a way to carve out our own little corner of the Spark World and reach our goals? In the end we are all an "experiment of one" finding the lane of the Spark Road that works best for us. Just like driving on a multi-lane highway - you stay in the lane that suits your speed. Of course, that can change as we progress in our journey.

What do we do when we get off the road, run out of gas, take a detour or get lost? Over eight years, my solution has been what I once called "following the breadcrumbs." You read a blog that "speaks" to you and you make a friend. You follow the friend to a team of like-minded Sparkers. They motivate you. They give you new ideas. You learn that you are not the only person who has ever stumbled into a pothole. The cycle continues. Your circle expands.

You see your friends' status and feeds and contribute to the conversation. You learn from them and they learn from you as well. However, this road doesn't ever really end. There is no Oz. The Wizard is not what Dorothy expected either. When we reach our goal - our weight or health or fitness level, the journey continues.

This is the Maintenance Road and I've been on it for 7 years now. It's not a straight line and it's not always smooth, but we can traverse it successfully with the support of our teams and friends. Follow the Spark road until it leads to the land of goal and eventually maintenance (the ultimate plateau). The view is great from this overlook.
