Prosperity is about Balance

We touched on the subject of health in the last page. So is it healthier to indulge in lots of dynamic activity, or to spend a lot of time relaxing? The answer is in practicing balance. This raises more questions: should we reach out for more, or expect less? Should we accept whatever comes along, or work to change it all? Should we work harder to get more of what we want, or make do with what we already have?

These polar opposites exist throughout life. It's not about what or who is right or wrong. It's about finding the middle ground (balance) that works for you, as the individual you are. You find that middle ground in your heart - no place else. As you can see, balance is a very personal thing. What is balance to you can be seen as cowardice by one person and intense bravery by another. Balance illustrates the futility and pain of comparing yourself to anyone else in any way.

Balance is the key to effective living. What is balance for you today may not be so tomorrow. Balance is Yin and Yang on the intensely personal level. This moment that way, next moment the other, swaying back and forth. Yet there is always a place where the opposing influences balance out. The "eye of the storm," as it were. This is where, in your heart, you find your balance, and the truth it whispers to you.
