There is nothing in the tank and nothing left to give. Some days, you don't feel like a million bucks, no matter how desperately you want to.

While watching the incredible gymnasts compete in the Rio Olympics this past week, it struck me that the hard work, effort, and concentration they put into keeping their balance during their routines can shed some light on the reality of the "balance" we try to accomplish in life.

Like most parents, as I watch my kids grow older I sometimes get sad that I am not planning on having any more babies.

Then the next time you're faced with a different result than you'd originally planned, practice the art of allowing. Just breathe and let it go... and eventually the disappointment will fade. And it won't need to ruin your party -- even without a pony.
