The Balanced Life, Huntsville Alabama

My last blog entry was on the topic of comparisons and how this robs a person of joy. 

     In a recent interview, the famous Tom Brady spoke these inspirational words, “As you get older, your life changes quite a bit.  Your life ebbs and flows; through the clouds and through the sun and through the rain and through the beautiful days.  And you appreciate the moments and you find joy in the little things.”

Is the phrase “good stress” an oxymoron? Or, can a time-limited amount of stress allow us to experience growing pains and learn to be flexible, roll with resistance, and stretch our limitations into a more expanded comfort zone?

As I prepared to write today’s blog, I reflected long and hard on the topic as I often do.  The word that kept coming to me was “comparisons”.
