From far, the lives of successful people seem highly balanced and straightforward. Not to from close – success breeds from unbalance and exploration beyond one’s comfort zone.

After observing O Sensei, the founder of Aikido, sparring with an accomplished fighter, a young student said to the master, “You never lose your balance. What is your secret?” “You are wrong” O Sensei replied. “I am constantly losing my balance. My skill lies in my ability to regain it.”
Good lesson – We need to exercise our ability to regain our balance so as to stay healthy and continue to do what we need to do. But we should accept to be thrown off balance to thrive in action.
