"There's only one thing I never did and wish I had done:
climbed over a fence."
Mary of Teck
Straddling a fence can bring pause to decision making. From a higher level, we may broaden a perspective or change a once favored view. Either way, it is meant to be a place of pause, resting for a few. Being on the fence is not meant to be a permanent perch. It is a temporary position allowing one to decide which side he or she wants to get down on.
Making decisions is not always an easy task, especially when we are heavily laden by others demands. There may be times of severe angst when neither side appears to be alluring or supportive. It is possible for both sides to be appealing so decision making can be based upon personal choice.
Perhaps the most important part of being on the fence is the dismount. Inability to be decisive tampers with emotional, physical, and spiritual well being. Being stuck can freeze us which is referred to as avoidance or denial. Ask the self, "What do I want to do? What is best for me?" Answers will allow us to climb off the fence with grace and ease.
