Balance

"Balance doesn't mean that things stop moving....it simply means that you are more able to deal with the fluctuations as they come up."  ~Kathryn Budig

If we reach a balance in our lives, a true balance, enjoy it but also be prepared to make necessary adjustments as life is ever moving and so too does your focus need to be as well.  Balance isn't something you figure out once and bam you are set.  Balance is something that is fleeting if you do not work at it to keep it in check.  All of the constant obstacles in life assure us that balance is fragile and something to strive for and maintain and honor once we reach it.  Don't get discouraged if everything is hard.  Use it rather as an opportunity to step back and get perspective on what is making it hard.  Once you are able to grasp perspective on your existence and obstacles is when you can truly apply your hard earned and fought for life lessons to achieve your balance.

"Whatever we focus on we become--We also become whatever we practice.  We need to focus on balance whenever something comes along to tilt us off balance, we need to be grateful, because it allows the opportunity to practice our focus.  When you're in the middle, you don't go to either extreme.  You allow both sides to exist."  ~Lakota

"We must live as we think, otherwise we shall end up by thinking as we have lived."  ~Paul Bourget
