Walking the Line: On Prudence, Audacity, and Balance

To the prudent, life is one long lesson in audacity. To the audacious, it’s a long lesson in prudence.

We all have a natural tendency to lean one way or the other.

Prudence and audacity are best practised together, in alternating steps.

Life is a tight rope act, requiring continuous adjustment. As soon as you feel you’ve got the hang of it, you’re likely to fall.

Sometimes the rope is taut and stable, other times it’s subject to sudden and unforeseeable shocks.

We are all being tested. We’re all being schooled.

Keep looking ahead and keep moving forward – it’s the best way to maintain your balance.
