Balance

We were at a seminar on Balance recently. Before the seminar began, the moderator asked us to stand on one foot. First on our right foot and then on our left foot. 

After we finished, we were asked what we needed to keep our balance while standing on one foot. Most answers form people related to two things: 1) Focus and 2) Support.

i.e. One needs to focus on what one is doing to keep balance. If one loses focus of what one is doing then one may fall out of balance.  This shows the importance of intention and a goal in every day actions and tasks.  This may require self knowledge and reflection.

One may need the support of a table or a peer to keep standing on one foot. Same is true in real life. We need to kepp the company of people who help us in our balance and who provide us support. We should not be around people who move away just when we need thier support. Plus we need to be the support to others when they need us. It is important to keep good company.
