Balancing Act

Today marks the first blog entry in the second half of the year. We've passed the halfway point in 2010. Wow. Balance was all I could think about at sunrise this morning. Even the sunrise seemed to hover in the balance.

Many people think that balance is a static state; a place to get to where there is stability. But I think that balance is actually a dynamic state where you fine tune the give and take of your energy. Balancing is about finding an optimal state where you have just the right amount of external or internal stress to activate your peak performance but not too much to overload your system. There's a fine line between the two. If you got off to a slow start then you always have the option of increasing your performance in the back half to balance your slow start. Think of it as a game or rather as a balancing act :)
