R U a Tightrope Walker, Part 2

In my last blog, I talked about a tightrope walker having to concentrate and control to stay on the rope in order to maintain balance. In this blog entry we’ll concentrate on a different perspective.

The perspective from this tightrope walker means staying on the tightrope is balance without control. You’re able to walk even back and forth on the rope without effort. Everything comes together and without concentration. You are in the zone, so to speak.

Life is a balancing act. It’s about keeping life in perspective and staying on the tightrope, having a safety net, and feeling so supported that even bouncing on the rope doesn’t knock you off (in other words, life’s little bumps or ups and downs). Staying balanced means being centered, not overloading your schedule, relying on others to do their part and creating not just a safety net, but a platform. Picture this, you are so balanced, that the rope actually becomes a platform with you walking down the center. That really feels like you are in the zone, right?

We all struggle at one time or another to balance our lives. So, ask yourself, “What am I willing to say yes to? What am I willing to say no to?” When you ask yourself these questions it becomes clear what is most important to you. If you answer these questions then choices are easy. You then feel the choices are yours and balance becomes the “rule” instead of the “exception.” Man, that sounds pretty doggone good, doesn’t it?

What “yes” will make your life about balance?
