Pushing and Pulling

Heyo,

Recently I have been reading the Mistborn series (per recommendation from little sister). In the book some people are born with the gift to 'burn' metals, each metal has a different action. Anyway because it is science fiction it talks quite a bit about the mechanics of it all...leading me to thinking about pushing and pulling. Part of the power of certain metals is the ability to push off of coins and then opposing pull the coins toward them. Mistborns use this to fly and fight. However I begun to attach the concept somewhat more concretely to the reality we live.

All of  life we are pushing things away or pulling them towards us. What am I reaching for? What am I running from? It has a great deal to do with life purpose and the actions we take. Mistborns train and practice, taking a great deal of thought to their plans, but here, we push and pull not altogether thinking much at all. Certainly never practicing.

I want to be trained in the gifts I have. No matter the level of hardness involved.


Keep reading.
