Backward Balance - General Groves and Oppenheimer

The backward balance person is more interested in what is accomplished than in how they might appear.

They will take the time to check out the task at hand with what has worked before. They have so many brain cells devoted to memory, that they are at an advantage tapping into this vast databank.

They often are the quiet “power behind the throne” of famous people. They simply do not need the public acknowledgement and recognition of the forward balance person.

They tend to hang onto past memories, especially those are not negative. They have a tape that constantly runs in their head and can sounds like a broken record, going over and over the past.


Tip About Others ☻ Help these people to worry less about what others may think or say. They have no control over others anyway. Applaud them for their willingness to share the spotlight with others. Congratulate them on their progress and successes.

Tip About You ☻ Use your wonderful abilities to be helpful, considerate and caring. Focus your energy outside of yourself, instead of running the tape of the past over and over. Recall the good times and positive accomplishments of yourself and others.

Let go of vindictive thoughts or relishing the other person “getting what is coming to them.” Practice forgiveness of yourself and others. Direct your attention to what will get you ahead in the future.

Forward Balance

The forward balance person likes to rise to the occasion and can be quite dynamic. They look to the future and rarely look back into the past.

They have showmanship ability and can be natural leaders. They do crave attention, recognition, and appreciation for their efforts.

People with this trait are like thoroughbred race horses, thriving on applause and looking for approval.

In an effort to be the center of attention, they may be too loud, put other people down, and ham it up in order be recognized.

Many performers, CEO’s and heads of political parties are forward balance.

Tip About Others ☻ The backward or past focused people do not care for the approval of others, nor do they need a lot of recognition. What they want from you is consistent performance, not excuses.

Tip About You ☻ If you are constantly worried about the future and about what people think of you, perhaps it is time to slow down and look at what needs to be accomplished for everyone’s benefit.

Give others equal time in the limelight and be sure you have a stage or an arena where you can shine and be recognized.

Remember to praise and acknowledge your co-workers and other important people in your life.

Difference in set of ears....

Look at the amount of brain behind the ear of the one fellow, and the less amount on the other. Next two posts explain what this means.

8 years later....

No other job in the world ages a person like being the President of the USA.

Best chili cheeseburger anywhere!

I'd never even heard of these green chili burgers until I moved here and friends took me to the Outpost Bar and Grill, just down the street. Believe me, they are worth coming all this way just have one!

My new hometown...

Difference in Eye spacing...what does it mean?

Let's look at the difference in the spacing between the eyes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Will Smith, two familiar faces.

Parker's internal clock is fast and intense. Everything she sees and experiences happens right in front of her face.

Smith's perception and experience of his world is at a much slower pace. People with wide-set eyes tell me that they don't mean to procrastinate, it's just that they seem to plan more things to do than they have time for. And they like to "dawdle," as they smilingly put it.

You will rarely find a person with close-set eyes dawdling. This word and action is simply not in their vocabulary!

The questions is: can someone with the physical structure like Parker or Smith change their perception and behavior? We all have free will, correct? Yes, and generally speaking, the natural structure will override the ability of the individual's freedom to choose their emotional reactions and behavior.

Check out the set of your own eyes. If you are wide between the eyes, imagine yourself with close-set eyes and try feeling and acting in a quick, intense and instantly reactive manner. Speed up your inner clock. Let yourself feel that there are only 30 minutes in an hour instead of 60, or your usual 90.

And if you are narrow between the eyes, make believe that they are wide spaced. Try operating for an entire day as if you had wide-vision, were easy-going, and had an inner metronome that ticks slowly, slowly, slowly. Can you do it?
