Have you ever walked a tightrope?

What about a slack line?

They provide an exhilarating experience. Putting one foot in front of the other, everything around you slowly fades away. The scenery, the sounds, the ground beneath you. A moment where all of your focus is put forth into one simple task. Taking that next  step forward. Simple it may seem, yet incredibly challenging. And if we’re all honest, terrifying.

This is one of my favorite metaphors for life. Simple, yet challenging. It was never meant to be easy. Wheres the fun in that? But with a little practice you can master your own balance and begin to move forward. One simple step at a time.
