If I told you I can fly would you believe me? Perhaps you would say yes and assume I mean I can fly by getting on an airplane and traveling to some distant location. Truth be told I really can do both. I have learned to fly not with wings but rather with my whole body. I use ever muscle, the most important one being my brain in this act of flying.
It's never easy. The walls that block this process are many which is why having the ability to fly is not enough. You also need the will to fly. It's a belief in yourself that takes time to develop and patience is your best friend.
Sometimes you are your worst enemy. It seems the harder you try the more elusive it is the feel the flow of flight. We all have to deal with stress in our lives. In order to fly you have to first relax into a panic. You need to put yourself through a situation that is stressful and learn to be relaxed while doing it. Flying is stressful and in order to fly the stress is what you need.
So you see it's a conundrum with the only way of dealing with it and not go crazy is to have balance. Having a balance in your life usually involves variety. It is the spice of life or at least that's what I've heard. This flying and if you haven't already concluded from the picture is swimming. It is the frosting on the cake for me. The cake being a balanced life and the swimming being o so sweat in the right amount. The frosting is always the best part of the cake never let anyone tell you different. But too much will make you sick that's why having a balance is important. It's very alien when your in the water and that's part of the fun. It's a calm cooling feeling which refreshes and restores. I guess that's why baptism is being totally submerged and coming out a new. I plan on refreshing as long as I can and never forget how to fly.
