a simple definition of balance according to MERRIAM-WEBSTER'S dictionary is as follows:
the state of having your weight spread equally so that you do not fall
the ability to move or to remain in a position without losing control or falling
a state in which different things occur in equal or proper amounts or have an equal or proper amount of importance
i thought i was going to write a well thought out and intellectual post about balance and how i try to achieve balance in my life but as i started to write it just was not a natural topic like i thought it would be. i wrote several paragraphs and did not appreciate what i had written. it didn't deliver what i had wanted it to. so honestly, this is more about my self reflection on balance and obtaining it. adhering to the things and ideas that i believe, being disciplined in areas that i might struggle, being true and real in difficult situations, communicating, being real or genuine to myself and others around me. i find balance when i follow thru on those things. the words and the intentions are easy, it's the action, the follow thru that is a constant challenge. but what is life without a challenge?
i was going to dissect the definition of the word and break it down by the parts of the meaning, i did and it got super boring instead of being inspirational or insightful. thankfully i can edit my own writing and head myself off before i lose my balance and fall off the cliff into boredom. you're welcome.
