Balance

Perhapsthe most important aspect in life is balance. What makes a fighter great? It isn't thir striking or blocking, it's thir balance. Football...same concept. The very concept of walking is a series of controled falls that only balance can turn into a productive use of energy. Minus balance we would all be on the ground struggling to get up. The question is how do we maintain balance. Is balance a skill, art, or inate human ability. I would argue that it is a skill. Take a baby, they can't walk at first but learn how to control their muscles. The same concept applies to bike riding. But does this apply to the emotional and spiritual parts of our lives. Of course it does...but can it be improved? I have undergone a severe lack of balance in my life this week. The next stressing time, will I have any better balance?
