What level of stress do you place on yourself every day? We tend to say things like, work is so stressful, my kids are running me ragged, my family is demanding... what is it that is causing the stresses in your life?
What would cause you more stress... walking on a tightrope or a balance beam?
How high do you want to get off the ground?
How good is your personal balance ?
How far are you willing to reach ?
What will happen if you fall?
What do you wish you could do?
What did you say caused you more stress??
I have always been the tightrope walker in life. How about you?? Are you doing the things others are not comfortable doing? Lots of people want to be on the tightrope. Why aren't they? Fear, stress, worry. It's what we tell ourselves about the stress it will cause us. Or the stress we "think" it will cause us. The changes we would have to make to get up on that tightrope for some seem unsurmountable.
Here is the "AH HA moment" when someone takes you by the hand and helps you onto the rope, shows you all the tricks of the trade, and helps you work through your fears until you can do it by yourself...You can do it. WHY???? Because now you believe you can. You worked through the stress with someones help.
So I challenge you to get off the balance beam. Sure it's safe, low to the ground and the worst thing that can happen is a twisted ankle. But the excitement, the future of your life can be the thrill of stepping outside your comfort zone and achieving what your heart desires. Your own personal success is a HUGE reward that awaits you. Discover what that is and experience it!
