So many scars on my knuckles. Instantly you can tell I’m right handed.  It’s not that my left hand is lazy.  I call it The Balancer.  It holds the page in place. Hammers and I have never gotten along.  The courageous left hand would hold that tiny sharp sliver of metal and wham!  Almost always my thumb would get whacked.  For that nail to work there had to be a full collaboration of energy.  No single wall can stand without true support.  The Balancer.  A great example? The number of times people admit their dreams are blocked behind a wall. I always look around.  Then react, “It takes more than one wall to fully block.  Have you tried to get through any of the others?”  How we make our way through walls and countless days of other people’s expectations is through the physical execution of making a choice.  Which tool will you use?  In all cases there will be a Balancer.  Without it, the awkward image would be that of dizzy behavior.  My left hand can’t do what my right is capable of accomplishing.  But could the right achieve success on its own?  Your life is no different.  Who what and where is your Balancer?  Who sits on the opposite side making sure your ambitions are met with success?  Hall and Oates, Lennon and McCartney and I once thought Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora.  Having something or someone to balance with gifts the path with opportunities that can be met.  Learn to identify with your Balancer.  It’s going to require time.  You can’t just point a finger.  It’s too easy to be ghosted.  Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.  Who is the lead and who is The Balancer?  I’d love for Jon and Richie to find their way back to each other.  Neither have toppled the music scene since.  They’ve relied on the past to keep them present.
