It is dynamic. It requires movement and constant shifts and strategic redistribution of weight. A tight-rope walker would agree that maintaining balance requires intention and attention. It requires strength from within: that deep-down determination and literal core strength as well. The good news is that it gets easier with practice&#8230;it\u2019s \u201clike riding a bike.\u201d (Well, maybe a little more like riding a unicycle.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4823 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bestbodyin52.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LIKE-RIDING-A-BIKE.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestbodyin52.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LIKE-RIDING-A-BIKE.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bestbodyin52.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LIKE-RIDING-A-BIKE-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/bestbodyin52.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/LIKE-RIDING-A-BIKE-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carve out a moment to reflect on how well we\u2019ve struck the balance and consider how we may need to distribute our weight to stay in better balance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s not easy. I am an \u201call in\u201d personality. And I tend to want to be \u201call in\u201d to too many things at once. And to make it worse, I am a strong-willed DIY-er. I don\u2019t want anyone doing or making anything for me that I could do or make myself. Sigh. \ud83d\ude42 What about you?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have been learning that if I want to be the best I can be and make a lasting impact, I need to narrow my focus. I need to be \u201call in\u201d only in the areas that God intended for <\/span><b>me<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and let other things go &#8212; letting go and letting others shine in those areas where I just don\u2019t naturally shine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ah yes, that means we must admit that there areas where we just aren\u2019t meant to shine. A major-league pitcher is not meant to be a catcher&#8230; Should he spend all his spare time working to marginally improve his weakness, or should he make the most of his strength? Exactly!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for my business for example, I\u2019ve hired a team of people who have opposite giftings of me. When I have to cover their tasks from time to time, I do it with \u201cants in my pants\u201d &#8211; just itching to get back to my sweet spot strengths. (Sometimes I find my knees bouncing like a kid about to pitch a fit.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly what gets me through to the completion of covering their tasks (without pitching the impending fit) is my gratitude for the balance they bring to the mix. I\u2019m so grateful we are all made differently but come together beautifully! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you\u00a0ponder where you could narrow your focus to be the best you can be at both work and play, with your unique giftings and priorities in mind?
