BaLLet LeSsOnS

In ballet there is a very interesting theory of opposites at work. While keeping your butts squeezed firmly in the direction of the ground, you are supposed to pull up the muscles from your toes to ankles to calves to knees to thighs. And while keeping your shoulders down, you are supposed to pull your body up straight and tuck your tummy in and hands held out and hold your head up high.

Ballet is an exacting science. It calls for a lot of discipline, both mentally and physically.

And I suppose, we can learn a little of ballet skills in life. That when we are at the high pointe in our life, we remember to remain firmly rooted to the ground. And the opposite is also true then. That when life drags us down and out, we remember to pull ourselves together and chin up.

It’s all your choice. You have got the wings, now where do you want to fly to?
