Are You A Tightrope Walker? Carlisle, PA.

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams of Central PA RS334568

Life can be likened unto walking a tightrope.  So, yes, we are all tightrope walkers - and indeed, it's not for the faint of heart.

Each day is like taking the next step upon that rope that is strategically stretched between where we 'are' and where we want to 'go.'  The only way across is one step at a time as we proactively acknowledge our fear of failure, and then defiantly face the needful path and courageously walk across.

 

Triumph requires some deep soul searching - and pulling forth of the best stuff we have...Our Passion, Our Stamina, Our Strength, Our Hope, Our Dream, and Our Not-Gonna-Give-Up Attitude!!

The danger of falling is real and there's no time or space for complacency and indifference - This walk requires the utmost focus!

Walking the tightrope is a death defying act.  Be encouraged.  Stay alert and ignore distraction. Keep your eyes fixated on the goal and one step at at time, keep walking...

I try not to put myself in a position Maria Sapio; where I feel that I am on a tight rope however it has happened from time to time and I just do the right thing as my heart and gut justify...

So, we must keep focused and take one careful step at a time.

I have seen a tightrope walking show in my hometown. That was crazy but it was fun to watch. Some of this material has a lot to do with investment casting.
