In science and technology, energy is carried by either a charge, or by a “Gap”. This is called hole carriage. This framework is the reason we have semiconductors, which is the reason we have our beloved tech gadgets.

Achieving any goals is life if not a “journey”. This idea is tossed around a lot: “it’s a journey, let’s just start and see where it leads us”. Sure, this is a good way to get started, but I am afraid it accomplishes little after that. The better approach would be to look where you want to go and then find a template to base your path off. Find people that have taken this path and learn what they have to share. Start with the end in mind.

Part of this process is the Gap. By creating this circumstance for your desired outcome, you are in effect forcing your environment to carry you to your desired end point. It is beautiful.

Crisis is a form of Gap: it takes you out of your comfort zone and you must discover your “hero’s journey” to find a solution. You can create mini-crises to simulate this end goal in an efficient manner. Put yourself in a challenging situation and learn from it. As an exercise, try to do one thing that scares you everyday. This can be as little as asking someone out or as big as swimming with sharks.

Conversely, if one slacks off, then undesired Gaps are created by the Universe. These Gaps will be filled by others more capable of deserving the opportunities. It is one form of survival of the fittest. Be aware of this and Stay Frosty!
