Sting in one place requires No energy

Sting in one place requires No energy. Moving from that place requires energy to overcome inner and outer obstacles.

In the book

"Life is like riding a bicycle — to keep your balance, you must keep moving." — Albert Einstein (Sample epigraph — or use one of your own; you put the same truth in, that staying still requires no energy, but moving anywhere requires the energy to overcome both the inner and outer obstacles.) In the last chapter you filed a flight plan — a destination, a route, the willingness to pay the fare. […] You are always, whether you notice it or not, managing a finite supply. Standing still costs nothing; but going anywhere — overcoming the inner drag and the outer obstacles both — costs energy, and you have only so much of it. [Here, tell them about a season when your own gauge ran low — the stretch when you had the plan and the talent and still could not climb, and what you finally understood was missing.] — Fuel (Energy)
