My Life as a Tripod

My life as a Tripod

Okay, so this analogy keeps coming back to revisit me.  I've shared it twice in the last twenty four hours with ppl close to me and can't quite get away from the idea that maybe you might benefit from it too.  One time a very wise person told me that I should see myself as a tripod.  You know one of those camera thingys that keep your camera steady so you can get the best shot.  Well, knowing this was a wise person sharing this, I knew that once the lesson was complete, the picture of me as a tripod would come into focus.  And it did and it never leaves.  Just when I or someone close to me needs it, I am able to share it too.  So, now I share it with you.  Feel free to share it if the need ever arises.

As human beings, we are three fold creatures--(thus the tripod analogy)  One leg is the physical, one the emotional and one the spiritual.   For us to be fully balanced we must be careful to tend to each area of our lives.  If we are physically challenged, but emotionally and spiritually tuned, we'll lean, but be able to stand.  And visa versa.  But if we neglect any one area, and bring about death to that third of our being, we cannot stand, no matter how much we try. 

It is so very imperative to care for and nurture each of our legs of our tripod.  We must do our best to be physically, emotionally and spiritually sound so as to lead a well adjusted, well balanced existance.

I have learned in pursuing my desire to be all I can be and to be an encouragement to others, that if I'm neglecting any of these areas, I just cannot give of myself. 

So, think of me and think of you as tripods and see how straight we can stand, and see how clearly our lifes are photographed as we be all we can be!
