For most of us, balance happens automatically . . . we never give it a thought. But achieving and maintaining balance is not so simple. Consider how much “automatic balance” we need just to get ourselves to the car each morning: We grab car keys, Blackberry, coffee cup and a briefcase; walk from door to car. On the way, we manage kids: get them into car with school work, lunches and seatbelts; we filter their endless chatter for crucial content. Then we open our car door, turn a bit and descend into the driver’s seat. Whew! Kind of amazing, right? But we do it every day, easily. We are true truly amazing creatures.
