Like a lot in life, we
often see the end results of success instead of the struggle.
The first several tries resulted in a bunch of pictures with one
foot or nothing. A couple of things were happening:
The rock sloped
downhill. I was afraid I would fall forward or backward into more jagged rock.
I had just started doing handstands a few months ago-- more than
30 years after I did my last one. I didn't trust my ability to do it.
So Ren suggested trying the handstands uphill instead.
It worked. After a few practices, I had the confidence to try it
downhill and that's the picture you see here.
So in life, if at first you come up to a challenge, change the
way you approach it. Try something different. Practice. Gain the skill. Above
all, persist.
