Remember the balance beam in the school yard? Did you walk on it, balancing with your arms out from your side in the air? What about the lines on the sidewalk that you would walk like a tightrope?

Did you swear to never get up on that thing again? Or, did you get right back up and take the risk of falling off again? Maybe a little of both?
