Find the Ultimate Balance

by Jane Powell

"Finding balance is the key to personal fulfillment."

If your life was a symphony, all the different parts of it could be represented by the different sections of the orchestra. All the parts would work together to produce beautiful harmonies. Not one section would conflict with the other.

Too often we think in terms of conflicts rather than complements, as though the different roles we play are at odds with one another. We struggle with having a successful career and a fulfilling family life.

Dissolve this conflict and begin to assess your life as a whole with complementary parts, rather than broken fragments competing for your time and attention. Ultimately balance will come from living in full of awareness of yourself not the parts.

Go on, try it ...let go!

Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't
mean we shut down. Letting go means we stop trying
to force outcomes and make people behave. It means
we give up resistance to the way things are, for the
moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible–
controlling that which we cannot–and instead, focus on
what is possible–which usually means taking care of
ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness,
and love, as much as possible.
Just as the bird has to find the courage to let go of the branch in order to fly, so we also must let go of our branches if we are to know the exhilaration of soaring to the highest potential of our life. The branches we hold to are our inner attachments - our beliefs, ideas and memories. And then there are the outer attachments - people, possessions, positions and privileges are a few. But as long as we hold on to them we will live in fear (of letting go and loss) and we will never be free. And just watch those birds, by letting go of one branch they are able to spend the rest of their life alighting on a million other branches, and they enjoy the view from each. Are you flying and soaring in your life, or are you stuck on one branch, cursing others as they fly past. Go on, try it ...let go!
 
 

The small decisions have a big influence on your life because you make so many of them, all day, every day. The small decisions are the ones that keep you focused and moving ahead.
 
Sure, the big decisions, that you pay a lot of attention to, will set the direction for your life. However, the small decisions are what deliver and maintain that direction.
 
Small decisions come so fast and so frequently that you can't possibly have time to think through each one. That's why the way to effectively take positive control of those small decisions is to develop positive habits.
 
Instead of thinking through each small decision, program those decisions into your behavior. Instead of being constantly tempted to wander away from the path you've chosen, make it your second nature to keep yourself positively focused on what really matters.
 
Get all the powerful small decisions working in your favor by making them into solid, repeating habits. Invest in creating positive habits in your life, and your investment will continue to pay valuable dividends each day.
 
Every moment is a choice. Create powerful, positive habits for yourself and all those choices will lead you precisely where you wish to go.
 
Ralph Marston
