A plate spinner keeps lots up things up in the air. The more things you can keep going, the more impressed people will be. The downside? Things don't really get interested until something is about to fall. And you have to keep raising the stakes. Poles on chins, etc. People don't have much to say about you until something hits the floor and shatters.
The tightrope walker can be a breathtaking performer. Standing up to the status quo or challenging the boundaries of ministry can be exhilarating. And if you do it without the CEO's knowledge or without permission, you're like, working without a net. Even more dramatic. Concerns? You mostly work alone or at best with just a couple of other talented performers. If you are a true dare devil like Karl Wallenda, at some point, the wind will get you.
The lion tamer seems to always be pitted against the rage of the angry. Man against beast. It seems like there is always another lion. Another rager to tame.
Clowns are always fun. Nobody takes you too seriously. It's fun to make people laugh. And then they can get on back to their lives. Nothing too serious. You wear a lot of costumes and funny shoes. At the end of the day, nothing really changes.
The barker is a role we have to play at one time or another. Step right up folks, never gets old. There is always the hope of another big show of the next great thing as if it's about to happen for the first time.
The circus is a nice diversion. There's always a lot going on and people usually take home a couple nice souvenirs.
Authentic relationship maker isn't a circus act. What if it was? I can't think of a more death defying, center-ring act to be a part of. You would be the talk of the town.
The greatest show on earth.
