GEMnastics 💎

Hello everyone! I have decided to dust the cobwebs off my blog and get back into this thing!!! Today I would like for my readers to focus on "Balance"  ...balance in life is more of a healing aspect. When we are off balance we do not grow in life effectively. Balance is also the foundationary skill needed in Gymnastics.

When gymnasts are on a balance beam, there's a high chance that they can slip and fall. As you’re watching them perform their routine, they tend to shut everyone else out and focus on achieving the perfect score. This is the same perspective I use when it comes my life. I have to stay focused on on flipping, jumping, bending, etc., all while continuing to balance on my “beam”. Life has a way of frequently throwing us curveballs, to the point that we’ll have to flip, jump, and bend, in order to dodge these things.

"Often those that criticize others reveal what he himself lacks." -
Shannon L. Alder

Expect both the positive and negative in the world because they are both alive and well.  In order to have balance in anything you do in life you have a little bit of both. There will be a good influence and there will be a bad influence, but at the end of the day people are still being influenced nonetheless. 

When Gabby Douglas won her Gold Medals in the 2012 Olympics, people only focused on how her hair was not done to their standards. 

Why would they focus on something that's so minor, to such a major goal?

People will sometimes find the negatives about you, just to make themselves feel comfortable with their reason for not liking you. 

 Instead of realizing how much work it took for her and the other team members to win gold medals, her achievement was being discredited due to other people’s jealousy and small-mindedness. Not everyone is going to be happy that they are influenced by you. They know you possess something that could possibly fill a void inside of them, but because it's coming from you, - the competition - they reject it. 

We all should be working together, sharpening each other. In life you can gain something from every encounter you have with someone, in order to shape the person you’re becoming on your journey. 

 When you allow jealousy to consume you, not only can it blind you from a mental standpoint, it can also interrupt your spiritual growth, and block you from reaching new levels on this journey we call life.
