Have you ever considered a career walking on a tightrope, or being a trapeze artist? NOPE! Can’t say I have. However, this profession requires a skill we all need to develop – balance. ‘One of the great balancing acts in life is to be cautious and daring at the same time. Cautious enough to avoid stupid mistakes, prevent burnout, and maintain a margin of safety. Daring enough to bet on yourself, to do the things you would regret leaving undone, and to be willing to be uncomfortable in the short term so you can learn and grow in the long term.’ (J.Clear) Join me in a balanced life walk.

Feelings: Idea #240
Generally we tend to ask others “How are you today?”. Recently I had several days where I was feeling rather down, sad, not really liking what life was bringing my way. I felt tired, drained, almost burned out, without energy or enjoyment in what I was doing. Perhaps a better question to ask each other is “How are you feeling today?”. Yes, it’s just one word, and we may be scared to answer honestly – but if we can do so, there are many people around that will encourage you, support you, and give you a listening ear. All that will help you get back on track. (also perhaps a day off to refresh) So, “How are YOU feeling today?”

Momentum: Idea #239
Are you worried you’re focusing on the wrong things, and not sure what to do next? ‘Do you know someone who is trying to figure out what to do next? Are you that someone? You don’t have to figure out the rest of your life, you only have to decide what to do next. Make the best, wisest decision that is right before you, then do it again.’ (J.Maxwell) ‘The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.’ (O.W.Holmes) So just ensure you take that one small step in the right direction, then keep the momentum going for long-term success.
