Balance

The line between blessing and burden is easily blurred.

What seems at first to be a gift can subtly shift to be perceived as an obligation. 
Can you maintain the same passion, and devotion which initiated a commitment, and also remain free from any sense of constraint?

Can you continuously strive to improve, while simultaneously believing you are already perfect, as is?

Can you be unflinchingly certain that your best is always enough, while setting standards for yourself which are always two steps away from your best?

This is the balance of immutable satisfaction with what is, coinciding with the unquenchable drive for evolution. 
Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. 
We are all walking the tightrope. 
I love you.
