“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”
Solutionary, Sir Isaac Newton
I have always been driven to “climb the ladder of success”. I enjoy that metaphor the most because one of my mentors, Zig Ziglar, when speaking on the topic of the goal of success was fond of saying; “I will see you at the top.” He was not the only one who commonly envisioned success as a state of being higher than the rest of the pack; a journey that called for the traveler to pay an extra price for getting to a place of distinction. Anyone who ever climbed a mountain or even a hill can attest that the higher you climb the greater the toll, the harder work and the sweeter the victory.

That law says that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed it can only change form. To anyone who has ever worked in a manual labor position, it is clear that energy is a must. The more energy that we give to any project the more results or heat that will be generated from those efforts. Thus, when we are going in the upward direction you can bet we are applying more energy to the work that we are doing. As with all things energy ebbs and flows, resulting in less or more results. Being that it is a natural and true occurrence we shouldn’t expect anyone or any entity to be constantly in the up or down position. The middle seems like a good place to regroup in preparation for the next upward drive.
This law speaks to the three states or location of any matter; the beginning or down, the middle or center and the end or up. This truth also explains that you can only go up if you are first down and when you reach the bottom, there is only one definite way to go. This law fortifies the truth that it is literally impossible to stay in the up position just as it is equally impossible to stay in the middle or down position. Every journey upward must, by truth and law, start from a lower position so if you are ever down, rejoice, the future is bright.
By understanding these laws of nature we should never expect a constant upward or downward trend in anything that we do. Instead, we should stay strong so our energy is high, stay positive so the energy is directed in the right direction and stay focused on the truths because the matter that is you is the only matter that matters. We can only change our self and the truth is the only path that leads to positive change.
By learning, professing and living these irrefutable laws we can become the person we are destined to be, a Solutionary to the world.
The airplane sits idling on the tarmac just feet beyond the jet bridge as a soothing voice can be heard over the speakers; “Should we experience a decrease in cabin pressure, four oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling compartment in front of you. Should this occur, reach up; pull a mask toward you, placing the cup over your nose and mouth, securing it with the elastic band. Please secure your own mask before assisting others. Breathe normally, even though the bag will not inflate, know that oxygen is flowing.” Anyone who has traveled by air has heard this flight attendant’s safety presentation. 
The above conversation highlights a central belief of mine. Pain is just a symptom of the actual problem; it is not the problem in and of itself. Physical, mental and spiritual pain is our body’s way of communicating that something is wrong. In neighborhoods all across the Country; we see, hear and feel the communications telling us that something is wrong in our societies. And just like the short discourse above between two loved ones, the evidence point to the facts that we are torn between continuing to manipulate the symptoms and wanting to solve the problem. 
We live in a time when campfire stories, legends and myths are no longer the common method of detailing remarkable persons, places or events. For millenniums, leaders have been memorialized through the retelling of their outstanding character traits. In some ways we seem to have outgrown those ancient forms of communication for something better; something more progressive. As a storyteller, I am personally torn in my acceptance of the various forms of modern communications. 
Through the Power of the Wisdom of Three our goals are within our grasps.
