Circus

These thoughts are derived from a friend's facebook status that said:

Professional Career vs. Personal Life, to which I replied: "It's a juggle. Are we in a circus?" When he agreed, I immediately thought of all the participants (people and animals) involved in a circus, and the roles that they play.

Who are we? The clown who is entertaining the crowd? The monkey who is forced to make people laugh while he's crying on the inside? The pompous circus owner who is arrogant while insecure? Or do we wear all those hats at one point or another...

He replied: "We are on the tight-rope doing a balancing act, trying not to fall to the ground."

But there's a safety net!

We cannot live our lives in fear and worry, we have to take leaps. "Leap and the safety net will appear," says one of the arts cards I love so much. It's so true because even if "we're on the right path, if we stand still" we are not exploring the journey.
