Balancing Out The Ups and Downs of Life

Do We Write In a Cyclic Form, I wonder.

Money society and it’s false hopes.
The way a money society gets to be that way is when people want instant gratification for their wants and needs. From this instant gratification, they see that money can solve some of their wants and needs, so they want more money and less discipline in their lives. Some end up making more money and creating more wants and needs for themselves. Of course, they can never fulfill all their wants and needs in a positive-negative setup that life has to offer. It is why a pure money society often goes belly up.
Give it some rest when it is needed.
I believe the reason why when you’re at your luckiest, we only have three tries to win all you can because a lot of time has elapsed, and your mind and body complex is telling you it needs to rest. You can’t get any more out of yourself until you get some rest. After rest, your winning ways will continue just not as strong as your luckiest day, which was at the peak of your mid-range cycle. For that matter, our luckiest day happens when we peak at our mid-range and twenty-four year cycles combined.
I’ll try here to describe our cycle make up.
The only way I can explain our cycles is that it’s our way of processing gravity waves since our ups and downs come from gravity as the ocean tides do.
Tides.
Many of us have heard or seen ocean tides; these tides are very cyclic. Did you know that lakes have mini tides as well did you also know that earth’s crust also has its tides. This landmass is greatly affected by the sun and moon’s gravity
Changes can bring wisdom if you give it half of a chance.
You can’t fear the changes in a cycle; it is your time to take a look at life from a different angle as a learning experience. It is how you get wisdom. This wisdom comes at a price, and it is to see yourself from different shades of a tree.
Bending with the wind
If the cycle of a nation is going against your belief that human nature tries something different, meaning try not to upset yourself to the point of paralysis. Try to bend with the wind and not break is good advice.
When doing creative art what are the possibilities,
You wonder when reading a novel if your ups and downs are melding with the ups and downs of the author of that novel. Do we write in a cyclic form, I wonder. We certainly are going through our ups and downs as we write. Is this what the reader picks up. If this works with reading a novel, does it work within other ways as well as when watching a movie or television program? It might even be taking place while listening to a song it makes you think of the possibilities.
My early thoughts on luck.
I remember noticing the differences between having luck and not having luck when I was very young. During my early teens, I’d walk a certain way home to see if one route would be better than others. Earlier in life, if I worked on the lines of a sidewalk would luck be any better than when I avoided the lines of the sidewalk, this happened when I was four years old. I was always searching for answers as to what luck was all about.

Knowing a persons Positive and Negative Cyclic Sequence Could Help Future Physicians Determine The best Time to administer Medicine to their Patients

When talking about memory, this comes to mind.
Can memory be cataloged by cycles like a specific thought be found by a combination of our cycles? Like the 22nd year in life falls in the first 24 years of life cycle also found in a so so number of mid-range cycles lived and then the number of daily cycles lived. Being that I suspect there may be smaller and larger cycles involved in the sequence of events in life it could even be more detailed than that.
Money doesn’t do away with our highs and lows in life.
People are hoping that money will overcome the high points and low points in life, but it doesn’t it could make these matters worse since there would be nothing else to look forward to in life.
A negative of our cycles have a lot to give us.
The low points of our cycles are just like a lunar or solar eclipse, where even the dark side of the eclipse is beautiful. Learn to appreciate the lessons of the dark side of life.
Some aspects show Isaac Newton’s 3rd law of motion.
Another way of showing newton’s third law that for every action, there is an equal reaction it’s through the medical advances that occur during war. These medical advances save lives in both military and civilian. So war takes lives and advances in medical technology save lives action-reaction that is the way life works.
Setbacks.
No one can ever prepare us for losing as long as we realize that losing is only a temporary position. Heck, even countries have setbacks that are the way it works. When we were babies, we never let setbacks stop us; if we did, we wouldn’t be walking today, amongst other things. These are temporary setbacks if we take our setbacks too seriously wherein big trouble.
Knowing a person’s positive and negative cyclic sequence could help future physicians determine the best time to administer medicine to their patients. I’m sure there is a right time to take a prescribed med. When a patient can get the maximum benefit from a med is a physician’s dream. So far, research has improved the taking of meds in this way, but more research is needed. Dollars spent in this regard will be well worth doing.
Put moderation in your thinking.
To my way of thinking, we all have similar ups and downs. Let’s talk about the negatives in life for a second. I believe that our frame of mind when we have these negatives determines how well we handle life’s problems. If we go to extremes one way or another, we’re in trouble. For instance, in politics, a far-left or far-right can’t get very far for long. Oh, maybe for a moment their politics is the thing, but it doesn’t last long. Those that are moderate usually have more staying power. It pays to be reasonable about other people’s opinion; it sure doesn’t hurt you’re better off not getting the last word in it doesn’t pay off very well.
All days are gifts to the heart.
Every day is a gift. It is the ups and downs in life that make us appreciate one day more than another. In the realm of life they’re all equal and all a part of life’s equation.

I’ve Often Wondered Why I Can Be So Brave at Times and Less so at Other times in My Everyday Life.

What does it take to be brave?
I’ve often wondered why I can be so brave at times and less so at other times in my everyday life. Matter of fact, it bothered me that I wasn’t brave at all times. It was hard to live with those changes. Then one day, I figured out what was happening. It was simple. Newton’s law all over again that for every action, there is an equal reaction. It all made sense when your thoughts and actions are moderate; the opposite reaction to them was moderate as well. Don’t you see the more radical your thoughts, the more distance you put yourself from a moderate stance, the harsher the counter-reaction? It seems to work. So the less you think about fighting, the less you’ll see of it. In hindsight, it seems to solve my problem. I want to put myself in a challenging situation less often so I should choose my battles more carefully my true self comes out here now.
A word of advice judge others more easily, and you will judge yourself fairer that’s the way of the up and downs.
Newfound wealth.
Aren’t you glad you’re human. We’re the only ones on earth that could make sense out of the ups and downs of life. That’s a big advantage all over all the other living things that surround us. We are truly gifted. Now our next task is to use it to our advantage of course wherever there are good times there’s a bad side happening. So we must be careful about how we use our newfound wealth.
My first experience of coming in 2nd best in life happened early in life.
My first, second-best day I remember didn’t happen in a game of poker; instead, it happened in a game of stickball. It was a beautiful day over my aunt and uncle’s house when the game occurred. My brother and I accompanied my cousin to the schoolyard, where the stickball game was to take place. I was high about showing off my stickball skills to my cousin. I was so sure of myself. Was I surprised at the outcome of the stickball competition? I couldn’t do anything right, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t hit the ball with the stickball bat. I didn’t even touch the ball. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. How come this is happening? Well, today I know it was the 2nd best day. So the mystery of that day makes sense to me now.
You can call it a force.
You can call our cycles a force since they come from gravity, and gravity is a force of nature.
Newton’s third law again.
Every negative downside has a positive upside, especially if you give it time to mature.
When cycles seem to repeat themselves, here is why.
When a person doesn’t learn from the lessons that life has to offer, they are bound to repeat them. An example of this would be as we go through our midrange cycles; it seems that they are very similar to the big difference is our experiences as we get older. So if you don’t learn a lesson on one midrange cycle, that same lesson may reappear on another midrange cycle with similar but different circumstances.
Smaller to bigger cycle.
Cycles can get bigger and bigger, and cycles can get smaller and smaller for all I know. As of yet, I don’t know the limits of either one. What these two have in common besides possible infinity is they both move in circles. That is their connection. Besides circular motion, they operate in the same way. The physical laws with bigger cycles are the same way for smaller cycles, most likely.
Everything, including love, has his ups and downs.
Even love as it’s high points and low points. At times you’re in 7th heaven, and then other times, you don’t feel loved.

Everyone Is A Surfer we’re constantly catching the Waves Of Life.

Our many faces in a day.
Our moods can have something to do with how well the day is going for us. Having a bad day at work can affect even the hardiest of souls. Our moods can change during the day. Just take a look at our daily cycle, where we experience three complete cycles in a day. We can wear many different faces in just one single day. For now, the best advice about moods I can give is to accept what you cannot change and to seek answers about what you can change. It should sound familiar to you because it comes from an old saying. Did you like that one how about this one. I don’t love America for what it can do for me, but I do love America for what I did for it pretty good stuff for sure.
The journey versus the destination.
As Cervantes once said, the journey is better than the inn. What does this have to do with life and death? Well, death is the end and the journey through life that’s so special. Just take a journey to a successful conclusion is the most rewarding part of the adventure and the longest lasting. The journey is where you build up your momentum each step of the way. The journey is also where you learn from your setbacks and good times.
Two’s.
Perhaps the creator saw everything in two’s because he wanted to show his everlasting love for his mate. So everything comes in twos in our universe to prove his devotion to his one love.
So cycle wise we’ve been around for a while.
Human beings alive today are equivalent to human beings of years gone by cycle wise. At least as long as our species called homo sapien’s have been around these many thousands of years.
Bad classes that were on their best behavior for me
During my substitute teaching days, on many occasions, I had classes that were of the highest quality who had a reputation for being bad. When being told that my day could be rough with a class, my reaction was to brace myself for the onslaught, which, as I stated didn’t always come to pass. The only way this is explainable is that I caught them on a good day of their cycles; how else can you explain this phenomenon.
The reason why stars planets and the moons are round is that when formed, they went through a cyclic process. Since we know by now that our cycles go round in circles and everything in the universe is cyclic therefore the stars planets and moons also follow a cyclic pattern.
Dark phases of our cycles.
Just like we humans have found something to do when it is dark like sleep so we can find something useful to do with our time while we’re in the negative phases of our cycles.
The beauty of life can be all yours for the asking.
People who don’t believe in themselves can’t see the gifts that a higher intelligence has bestowed on them. That’s the positives in life will surely come their way, and all you have to do is know what to do with them. Self-interest is what it takes. Follow each interest to your satisfaction. Patience to wait out the difficult times and understand there was a rainbow after every rainfall. Everyone is a surfer we’re constantly catching the waves of life. Creating satisfaction within yourself is just being true to your instincts and the inner voice that guides your life.

Loving what you do in life is important for peace of mind.
No matter how good you are in something, you are still going to go through the ups and downs of it all. But the more you love what you’re doing, the less you’ll notice it, and when you do notice it, you will shake it off.

We look at the same problem differently.

Our cycles in life help explain why one moment we feel strongly about something and a short while later, we feel less secure about the same subject. With cycles, it is simple to explain were just at another phase of our cycles. That being the case, we tend to look at the same problem differently. Our mood has changed from one moment to the next it happens to us all. That is why when thinking of important matters, and it helps to think of them from different angles.
Momentum and sports.
We often see and feel a momentum change during a sporting event. You may pick a random team to root for in a game, and when momentum takes place, it hard not to root for the winning team. As a kid, I watched a lot of sports and experienced the changing momentum in a game many a time it is a sight to behold. When a change of momentum takes place in a game, it is like an attractive force magnetic that pulls you to the winning side. It makes you realize how great events in history have happened.
Luck and our daily cycles.
I believe our daily cycles are the same length of time no matter what luck we’re having.
It is part of something bigger and bigger.
All cycles start with the individual then build to include more and more people. Until the point we’re talking about national cycles next where talking human race cycle, of course, then we are part of a bigger cycle like our Galaxy’s cycle called the Milky Way Galaxy cycle. Until the point when we’re talking about the cycle of the universe itself wow. Everything in the universe from the smallest to largest is just nothing but one big cycle, which is something else.

When you can’t find something, it can drive you crazy. What most likely happens is that wherein the bad side of one or more of our cycles. Most likely, where dealing with our daily cycle. If we stop looking for what we lost for a while, we usually find what we’re looking to find. It happens because our cycles become more favorable with time elapsed.
Here are some reasons for the fall of empires and nations.
A reason why empires and nations collapse is their cycles are going against them. It’s what comes around goes around for very action like there’s an equal reaction. Besides, it’s when self- expression against the family structure starts taking place where family structure weakens. The disciplines within the family structure and society begin to breakdown, causing a rift, which is hard to see by many and takes an effort to repair. Another way to look at it is you can’t be on top all the time your time can come again, but it takes work.
Approach avoidance.
Let’s talk about the approach-avoidance aspect of life. Approach avoidance is when we think something is a good idea, and we want to do it then a little while later, we avoid the idea because it doesn’t seem good to us anymore. Like when we think that jumping off the high diving board of a swimming pool is a good idea, then we look down at it and doesn’t seem like such a good idea anymore. Or when we think asking a member of the opposite sex out and we get cold feet. These examples are all approach-avoidance scenarios we all can relate to; they can be all explained by our daily cycles. Let’s say we’re in the positive phase of our daily cycle when we approach something a moment or two later times moved on, and now we’re in the negative phase of our daily cycle where we then have the opposite reaction where we avoid something this gives you an idea of how this works it all has to do with our ups and downs.

So, When You Learn from your mistakes ,It can last a lifetime.

Daydreaming.
I remember myself at different ages, always daydreaming about when I get older and how it’s going to be now, I’m older, and the ups and downs of life are still with me. You see daydreams, which I did a lot of had very few negatives to them; this is why they are called daydreams. Enjoy the hear and now, the ups and downs that go with the life you are leading. It is a fine way to age. Daydreams were fun in their own right but to paint a realistic picture of life, you need some negatives in life.
Everything in the universe is alive and well.
I believe that all biological beings have cycles, and I also believe that everything in the universe is alive and has cycles. For instance, the smallest unit of matter is the atom, which can respond to all stimuli imaginable like heat and cold, etc.
One doesn’t learn as much from success as they do from setbacks.
The reason, as I see it, is that it takes less effort to accomplish something when things are going right then when things are going wrong. Then we have to work harder and use more logic when things are not going well for us. So, when you learn from your mistakes, it can last a lifetime.
Sexual desire.
You might wonder that since our cycles affect mood, how do they affect sexual desire? Well I see a link between sexual desire and our cycles is the best answer I can give at this time. When we’re at our peaks, we might be able to get the sexual pleasure we so desire, and when we’re at our throughs, the sex we desire might be hard to get, so it seems. Taking your partner’s sexual desires into account is always a wise thought. You can see by this discussion that a woman or man’s sexual desire does change, so demanding that your partner is in the same mood as you are is not always reasonable, so have patience, and good sex will come your way. Not only patients but a good dialogue with each other are in order. The law of cycles tells us that no one can be in the mood for sex all the time. No matter what the male or female ego has to say about the subject, it does not change reality.
An experiment how our cycles might affect us is to try to write a three-digit number down a page without a line as a guide you’ll notice that our rows for many of us go in and out the same way we’re reacting to highs and lows of our daily cycles
Your parents told you that learn to do chores you don’t want to do gracefully will help you later in life. What they meant is learning to deal with bad hands in life with grace discipline and confidence will help you better understand life in the long run. This preparation to deal with your low points in life when starting young is in the youngster’s best interest. These lessons digested will last your whole lifetime. The lesson is bad hands are never as bad as they seem. There is always sunshine at the end of the day.
Each day is precious and different.
At the day’s end, many people will have died, and many people will be born. Each day is so different and precious, and it can’t be ignored as less than a gift. Getting older has everything to do with our cycles passage of time.

Even your Favorite Celebrities Have Their Ups and Downs.

Cooking the same meal the same way and getting a different reaction.
Our brain doesn’t always decipher the same message from foods we enjoy. It is because we eat these meals at different stages of our cycles; therefore, our experiences will be different. It is the same reason why chefs around the world have some better days than others when preparing food for their clients, which affects the finished product.
When are cycles move on?
When we stop going through life’s ups and downs as a biological entity is when death occurs. It is when our components no longer retain their team identity and move on with a different set of cyclic behavior.
Medical profession.
When we learn more about our cycles, the medical profession will see a big improvement in the decisions they make in the emergency rooms and all operating rooms. We don’t want medical personnel who are near their troughs, making costly mistakes, which is unavoidable today. It will not only save lives but will reduce insurance premiums and court caseloads.
A look at life.
Dana Reeve had a very hard time accepting her husband’s paralysis. Her husband was the actor Christopher Reeve who starred in the movies about the comic book hero Superman. Good movies, I might add. The paralysis Christopher Reeve suffered from a horse-riding accident was harder on his wife Dana then was his death several years later. Death is inevitable, but disabilities aren’t is what she saw. Their marriage became just as strong as ever after the accident. After Chris’s death, Dana came down with lung cancer, and she had never smoked tobacco. You wonder what’s going on here how can this happen? Hasn’t Dana had enough bad luck. Well, here’s the way to look at it when Chris had his accident; it was his cycle had something to do with it their combined cycles in their marriage was a different story that did well. After Chris died, Dana still had to go through her ups and downs of life. It just seems that we’re more susceptible to injury and disease at certain times in our cycle, which is what I’m saying. Understanding our cycles better can help prevent so many of the injuries and diseases we face today.
Life on its terms.
Sometimes I get mad at the way things work out for me. I don’t say to myself why me, but it’s implied. I seem to want more than a 50-50 break from life at times. Even when I was in rhythm playing poker and winning, my real-life still had its ups and downs. I just made it habit to put the odds in my favor for a short time. In everyday life, I find that hard to do. Although I have not given up, it is just unfinished work.
Persistence with patience pays off.
It is the best way to get good timing at anything you want to accomplish.
Celebrities
Even your favorite celebrities have their ups and downs. Being in the public spotlight with the media brings little privacy from there less than good moments. The price of fame could be high even for the most mature of them.
Contemporaries.
I’m just glad for my contemporaries; they have held my attention all these years; they haven’t been boring; it has been a heck of a ride because of you.
You got to believe.
If someone hasn’t been aware of themselves going through their cycles, how can they say they do not exist?
Some people can’t take a loss.
People who act violently can’t take a loss where the laws of the ups and downs in which the law of averages state that we all must have our hard times. But violent people want to fight this reasoning; they think they can beat the system, but they are wrong; nobody can beat the system.

It’s not Money that rules the earth and the universe;

Another way of looking at life and death would be by a Grantland Rice quotation For when the great scorer comes to write against your name; He marks not that you won or lost but how you played the game. You see, we’re going to have similar ups and downs when living out similar complete cycles out. So it’s how you played the game that stands out to me as the great equalizer. We all have God-given talents. It’s up to us to find out what those talents are and make the most out of them. Notice I say them because I believe we’re all multi-talented. Sure some of us seem to have the breaks, but I believe life is fair; it just seems whose viewpoint you use. A fellow living in the Philippines will have the same number and quality of ups and downs as any other 24-year old on Earth. Its how he plays the game of life that’s important. Health in life as we know it is all-important for without It life just seems to ebb and flow away.
Perfection re-examined.
The 12 for 20 four rule strikes again or very close to my understanding of this rule. Take Ty Cobb the great American baseball player that from 1907 to 1919 Ty Cobb was the American League batting title champ, which is for highest batting average 12 out of 13 years. Well, all I can say is things don’t work that way very often or at all. In other words, he batted the best for all those years, which is an outstanding achievement.
Learn to forgive yourself and others.
One has to learn to give others the right to make mistakes in their own lives and to learn to forgive others for past mistakes. I mean, if we make any headway in this book and all you learn that there are times that things will go against you, and you along with other people are going to make mistakes. Don’t be so hard on yourself, and others take life as it comes and understand that your day will come. Nothing comes without hard work and perseverance.
Money doesn’t control our ups and downs in life.
It’s not money that rules the earth and the universe; it is the laws of the ups and downs that rules everything we know and love. Money comes and goes, but it’s the ups and downs of life that control the money flow, not that money controls the ups and downs in life. We can live without money many people do for short and long periods, but we cannot live without the ups and downs of life.
Give rise to a day in a life.
Imagine cloning a person and trying to fit all a real person’s experiences and memories into this new being’s mind. You can see the astronomical odds of even accomplishing this for a day worth of memories. You have to recreate all the emotions of the original person felt plus all the conscious and unconscious thoughts that went through that person’s mind for that one day. Just recreating the body language of the other parties, they interacted with during that one day would be impossible. Then creating the events of a single day of all the humans on earth that affected this person’s cycle would be daunting indeed. Add in the other biological entities alive on this special day who might have interacted with them like dogs, cats, birds, and Flowers, and so forth. Then think about the atoms that make up the matter on earth and try to recreate their whereabouts on this hour then try to figure out all the atoms in the universe for those 24 hours, and what about all the hidden matter and energy that affect our lives with hardly a clue as to the inner workings. Now you can see how life is considered precious by some amongst us.

Cherished Memories

Cherished Memories.
When I was 20 years old and driving an ice cream truck in Las Vegas NV, I took my eyes off the road to reset a record which I used to attract customers next thing I knew my truck was stuck on a curb that was 2 feet high the sidewalk on the other side of the curb I was stuck on wasn’t built yet; therefore my truck managed to do a balancing act on the curb in question. After getting over the shock and saying to myself why me. Local people then came to my rescue. These heroes were, in return, given a box of ice cream for their troubles. I have a warm spot in my heart for the incident. So you can see bad happenings not only can work out well but they also can become cherished memories.
I’ll never forget the first time I realized that life’s disappointments could come in threes I was the star on my Little League baseball team. Our last game was coming upon us, so practice was called. I wasn’t sure whether the game was the day we had to practice, which would be the first time we’d practice on a game day or the game was the next day. At first, I tried to get the data from my coach, but he was busy helping someone else. Next, I tried a usually reliable teammate, but he didn’t know when the game was to be playing himself. Then I tried the coaches’ oldest son and was too busy to answer my question. To make a long story short, we lost the game 1-0, and I missed the game. We must have played great because they beat us so badly the first time we played. I would rather have been at the game and done lousy than missed the game it hurt so bad that I felt like I’d let my team down.
Perfection better understood.
When talking about life, we can take a page from the Great American golfer Ben Hogan. He’s considered one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. He once said that only a few shots per round came out the way he intended. He said this to demonstrate that perfection is only an illusion.
Odds of something happening.
I’m talking about the odds of something happening. I’ll tell you a story. It started how things usually happen somewhat by chance and somewhat by fate. I’m not sure which one plays more of a hand in our everyday affairs, be it chance or fate. Well anyway, I met a girl by the name of Carol one day. The next girl that I met, whether the same day or another day, was named Carol. It continued like this with me meeting girls named Carol for about a week to 10 days. All total, I met about nine Carols in a row. Was I meant to get serious with one of them it is possible since my mother’s middle name was Carol?

Lucky People

As the years go by, destiny calls out to me.
Sometimes I think about the lost opportunities in my lifetime and the wasted years; then I think how precious those years were and how happy I was just the way they were.
Anything is possible if you believe.
In college and professional sports, the worst team can beat the best team on any given day.
I am talking about people who seem to have it all.
A note about lucky people these people are people whose timing wins all the time it seems. The reason why is they always gamble when their cycles are in the positive they can sense it. But believe me, the ups and downs in their lives are still in place; they still have their off days. My mother had a friend she called the luckiest person she ever met. One time this friend won two $5,000 jackpots in one night playing the slot machines. When this lady got elderly, I ran errands for her, and we got close. All she wanted to do was die; her health had failed that much, but life wouldn’t let her go. After what seemed like a long time, she finally got her wish and died. So you see, luck comes and goes to everybody.
Luck and skill are working together in life to create beauty.
Carl Hubbell, the baseball Hall of Famer who’s crowning achievement took place in 1934 All-Star game. In this All-Star game, he struck out five future halls of famers in a row. They were Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Jimmie Foxx Al Simmons and Joe Cronin. It just goes to show you that with good skills and luck anything can be accomplished. Another person with great skills is a former Jeopardy game show player Ken Jennings. His streak started in June 2004 ended in November the same year, winning over 2 million American dollars. This win streak of 74 games was interrupted by the shows summer break in July and also by special Jeopardy events. It helps explain why this streak lasted so long an interval when it comes to winning and losing was operating just like yours. So you can understand the skill the man possessed to win so many games and the luck that went with it making his timing close to perfect.
Let us look at things that concern us and concern people of all ages.
So we now that everything has its ups and downs even those good things that benefit society has it’s up and downs. The light bulb, for instance, everyone would agree with its benefits to society. Yet because of the electric light bulb, many people are going against their wake sleep-cycles when they work night shift hours, which has been proved to be bad for your health in the long run, yet society still rewards working these hours. So even this electric phenomenon has its positives and negatives to it. So the poor must contribute to society in some way if they have their ups and downs as well. Let’s see the poor contribution to society would be that they use very little of Earth’s natural resources. Therefore they pollute very little as well. The question I beg to ask, do we reward everyone for their contribution to society?
Cycles of other biological entities.
Work by others, as told by Erica Klarreich in a Science Digest article dated February 12th, 2005, talks about the life spans of small animals versus large animals. It states that small animals have short lifespans, while bigger ones have longer lives. The reason for this has to do with the metabolic rate or how fast cells burn energy. As you might have guessed, small animals have higher metabolic rates than bigger animals. The metabolic rate theory works out well for small animals versus large animals where body size and temperature play an important role. If we take a mouse and an elephant, the elephant outlives the mouse by a lot of years, but yet the mouse could experience the same amount of heartbeats and the same amount of breaths as an elephant. All small versus large animals work this way. So what does that have to do with cycles well? It seems that the faster an animal’s metabolic rate is, the faster the animal experiences life’s ups and downs.
