Balance in life is indispensable to your progress. A
person who lacks balance will continue to be unstable and produce mediocre
results. An imbalanced person will mix up roles and responsibilities. He would
act in the right way to the wrong person. Have you seen husbands who relate to
their wives as though they related to an employee – and possibly vice versa?
Balance
in life means having right knowledge of all your roles and responsibilities and
functioning in line with them whenever their specific need arises. Balance means
you don’t give undue attention to only one aspect of your life living every
other aspect unattended to. A balanced nation, for example, isn’t one that has
mansions and luxury cars on every street but one that wouldn’t permit the poor
and uneducated remain the way they are. A balanced nation wouldn’t leave others
behind because it knows that it doesn’t matter how far it expresses prosperity
externally, with the poor and uneducated around they would pull all the
structures down.
Balance
begins not without but within a person. The problem we face most of the
time is that we try to be externally balanced without considering who we are
inside. If you remain internally imbalanced it will be irrelevant how many
seminars you attend or the number of my articles you read on external balance.
New wine must be put into new wineskins. – Jesus
I reckon
that complete balance naturally emanates from three sequential peace steps:
To have peace with God
means to be believe that he exists, to accept his love toward you, and rely on
him to guide you through every step of your life.
To have
peace with self is to recognize and understand the peculiar path for your
success journey, to align yourself with it, and ensure your physical needs don’t
wage a war with your soul.
When you
lay a continual solid foundation of internal balance you will be able to build
skyscrapers of success externally.
