To the left. No thats too far! To the right now. Oops. Back to the left a little. Now just a tad to the right.

Do you ever feel like you’re never knowing which side to lean toward?

We want immediate results! We want it now and we want it perfect!

And it can be for for bad or good things!

Our emotions are screaming for what we desire/need/want.

They’re screaming for us to act and express, maybe fear, love, control, desire, trust, etc..

But they are what allows you to feel, good or bad things -yet they can’t teach you about self-control. They don’t mind getting you into trouble.

So when we lean too far toward emotion, within minutes our logic is sending warning signals!

Yes, logic is there to teach us, but does not posses the ability to let us experience the blessing of giving and receiving because that takes risk.

Logic and risk don’t hang out together. Logic can keep you safe but also paralyze you.

Which one do we listen to?!

With both shouting for our attention!

Too much of either is where we sit crooked, spinning, out of time.

When we lean too far in one direction the centrifical force will swing us too far back the other way, therefore taking longer to center.

We will always be swaying and more so at times but the more we practice staying toward the middle, the pendulum will slow and keep a steadier pace.

Be ok with your current pace.

We all keep completely different fluctuating rhythms and time.

This is why we’ve been given the ability to function with both.

-Finding the balance of risk yet confident in our decisions.

-Taking time to think through consequences.

-Most importantly, not marinating in regret, knowing we made the best sound decision we could make in that moment.

We may not understand it.

We may hate it.

It may take us years to accept, let alone figure out.

But the process of not leaning too far one way is worth the effort.

Allowing both to operate at the same time will create less moments of feeling like we’re spinning out of control or worse, completely stopping.

And one last thing, but don’t forget!

Every pendulum has a Footing.
