Balance

Lately, I have been thinking about writing but just have had no time to do so while attempting to keep balance in my life. I could easily name all of the reasons I have not had time. The main things that have been taking up my time all revolve around my active lifestyle. I began thinking of this post a few weeks ago while riding my bike, because I have started riding again & do so for the most part without hands.

While doing so one day, I began to think about the concentration & balance it takes to do so while riding on uneven roads complete with obstacles & cars passing by. Thinking through this brought me back to how we all deal with this same sort of balancing act with our daily lives. While our lives may be drastically different, fact is that we all deal with trying to keep balance in our lives. Whether it is the competing demands of our work, family, friends, hobbies, or personal passions, each day is different & we have to make choices that are the best for our overall happiness.

Our success is crucial & you could say that if we lose balance we lose a little bit of our "Ness," or that which defines who we are. As for myself, if I had to let a labble fall on my "Ness," I would most likely be considered a high energy social butterfly athlete. I like the air that follows & surrounds me to be light, happy, & positive. I refuse to let the disappointments, how ever bad they may have hurt me mentally, physically, or emotionally define me. What defines me is & forever will be my faith & love of this life I have been graced with. Fact is that no one ever lays on their dying bed & says something like, "Man I wish I would have worked more." So, if you are holding on to any baggabe today, however hard it may seem now, please know that we were never promised that we would fully know the direction we are supposed to take at the start of things but you have to keep dreaming & reach for them with every last breath because we were meant to accomplish great things. Just let go of the ledge & test your wings, because I know you will reach heights that you never dreamed of. Peace, Love, & Happiness to you all!!!

Bless You!
