Three balanced meals a day……Balance your schedule…..Balance work and play……Balance your priorities and time……
Libra seems to be an important goal in modern life. Balancing what we want to do and what we need to do. Balancing what we need to eat and what sounds good at the time. When you are balancing something (such as standing on one foot), are you stable, secure, and progressing? Probably not, equilibrium is a state of stagnation, a state of maintenance of what already is.
That is the weakness that I find in trying to balance one’s life. It leaves no room for growth, for expansion, for progress. Certainly the idea behind balance is a good one, the fact that we need to divide our attention and effort among the many facets of life. But is there a better way to find “structure” in our lives, one that allows us to grow and achieve what we want?
In fact, there is, and it has been one of the greatest revolutions of my life. The key is harmony, and while harmony may seem the same as balance, there are some very important differences. To seek harmony in one’s life is to be able to get out of the routines of day to day and look at the big picture, the long term journey. Harmony is giving yourself completely to a certain aspect of life for a certain period of time, and when the growth, the change, the results you were looking for have been realized, then you turn all your attention to the next facet of life you are looking for. searching. wanting to increase
The basis behind the Law of Attraction is that whatever we put our attention on expands, grows and develops. When you are “balancing” your daily life, dividing your attention and your creative power between a number of different things, are any of them thinking enough, force enough to thrive and flourish? Not likely, which is why many people find themselves in a state of stagnation, not seeming to make any progress in any area of their lives.
I have been in “harmony” for over a year now and the things I have accomplished in various aspects of my life have been tremendous. I decided several things in my life that I wanted to improve, including my health, my family ties, my financial situation, and my personal growth (spirituality). I knew that by increasing each of these aspects of my life, I would find harmony, happiness, and overall satisfaction. By focusing on one at a time and really giving it my full attention, I have been able to make huge improvements in each area. It seems like this year has had more growth for me than several years in the past combined.
The funny thing is that a lot of people see my life as completely out of control, completely “out of balance.” The reason for this is simple, they are looking at life day by day, instead of looking at the big picture. Sometimes I can seem like a workaholic, devoting little attention to anything that is not related to business. At other times I can be seen as a lazy “mystic” who spends every waking minute with a book under my nose or meditating. Then there are times when I am constantly on the phone, having deep and meaningful conversations with distant relatives and friends. Now these different phases are not happening just for one day or even one week at a time. One phase can last a few weeks or months, and this can seem very unbalanced to others.
Yes, daily activities are not in balance, in fact, they are completely out of balance. But that area of my life is getting the full attention, focus, and creative power of my thoughts and actions. This laser-like focus on a single segment of life gives you the ability to flourish, grow and increase more than ever before. Try to get these kinds of results by spreading your attention among several things every day…it’s just not possible.
This is a life of harmony. Decide what’s important, make one big transformation, and then move on to the next one. It may seem unbalanced to others, but I believe you may find yourself happy and more fulfilled than ever. A life filled with growth, achievement, and true harmony will allow you to soar to ever higher ground. You will never be stagnant, without progress. Rather, you will be free to choose what you want out of life… and then get it.
