Cycles can be a good or bad thing depending on what keeps going around and around.
Philosophical Engineering
Typically our "work" week cycles from Sunday to Saturday and "in between" from Monday to Friday we have to go to work.
The sun cycles every morning and sets every evening. The clock cycles from 0 to 60 minutes every hour. And yet in these cycles, there is no "hump" to get over. Our day flows smoothly to the point where we don't count the minutes of every hour and instead enjoy watching the sun rise and the sun set.
The true "hump" to get over is the lack of direction and clarity as to why we find ourselves in a cycle we don't enjoy. Basketball players cycle through practice shots and workout regimens. To get past the drag of every week feeling like a dreaded mountain to climb, we must get over the hump of not seeing clearly how our lives are meaningful each and every day.
