Your starting power

   

   


   About 3 years ago I was working in a company and I was placed in charge of a little project. I was meant to meet and discuss prices for the installation of a central stabilizer for the company. You see we were using too many stabilizers at different points and that made our working environment look untidy because of the wires that ran everywhere. I landed the deal because fortunately for me I had a contact in the company that we had to buy the stabilizers from. So I and my contact got talking while the installation was going on and he explained something to me.

It inspired this post.





From what I understood, certain devices and equipment when being powered or switched on require a high level of current to even start up at all. This is because of the load of work they are built to perform. They drag a higher amount of current when starting up before stabilizing and setting in to carry on the work. If you observe, especially when using generators, if it is a fairly heavy duty equipment you are powering, like a pumping machine you will notice a slight dim in the current when you switch it on before it stabilizes. The equipment doesn't run on that starting current, it is just the boost it needs to get started before maintaining it's moderate energy requirement. That short burst of intense energy it requires is a starting current for it, it is usually higher than what it needs to actually run. Just like the quick burst of energy you need to start a 100 meter race.
    If the present current you have doesn't match the required current for the start up of the equipment then you will notice the equipment over power the current till it either shuts down your power or you switch it off to stabilize your power again. But if you have enough power you might only notice a slight dim in the current.

Forgive the excessive science talk but here is my point. I want you to apply this to real life. Sometimes the requirements needed to start a particular task might seem to be too much and by merely thinking about it you either push it till when you feel ready or totally give up on it. I am here to tell you that you do not have to give up. There is a way around it and it is just one word that will give you the answer. PREPARATION!


All you really have to do is prepare. Start your mental and physical preparations on time before you are required to take on the task. Build the energy you need before hand and I promise you, when that day reaches you will have enough power to get up and take on the task. If you lack preparation but still struggle to get up and take on your goals then you will be knocked down before you know it. You might not last long in the struggle. Start today and prepare for the big one.

Your big achievement is right around the corner. It is coming very soon so that's out of the question. The real question is, will you be prepared when it comes? Or are you going to watch it slip through your fingers? The choice is yours, choose carefully. Be prepared.

Good morning Fam!
