I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants for most of my life.

I spend much of my working life seated.

Losing your seat is a terrible thing. If you’re a politician it means you lose your place at the trough. If you’re waiting for a flight? That’s really terrible.

Feel good eh?

Let your power to be present flow through you.
