Sometimes life feels like juggling. I actually know how to juggle three objects. But I cannot juggle more than three. I imagine a juggler with 7 objects in the air going round and round. A partner comes up and they begin throwing some of the objects back and forth and the number of objects increases to maybe 10. Each object represents some responsibility in life like work, friends, bills, yard, ...etc. The juggler started out at some point with only two objects, then increased to three. The juggler then practiced and learned how to add more and more objects. But at some point he will reach a maximum number of objects. As the partner steps out he will not be able to keep all ten objects in the air alone. some of the objects will fall to the floor. Alone that juggler can only keep so many things in the air. And even the seven objects he originally had, one will occasionally fall to the floor. Sometimes there are just too many things to keep in the air. Only so many responsibilities one person can keep going.
