What Balance Means to Me

The main goal of this blog is to teach small business owners working from home and college students alike the art of living balanced lives. Personally, I define living balanced as being happy with progress and continuing personal growth without limiting or becoming obsessed with professional growth.

A balanced person is automatically a true Renaissance man or woman: art, history, literature, science, and mathematics are an important part of life on a daily basis, though not necessarily in traditional forms. Balancing a checkbook counts as math, for example, and reading the news will suffice for historic value.

Balance is less affected by what you do and more by how you do it. A balanced person knows the secret of all things in moderation and can tell you anything you want to know, both tactfully and honestly.

A balanced person is miles closer to Enlightenment, Nirvana, or Heaven, or whatever you wish to call it, than all others, because he or she knows where to look while we stumble around confused and misguided.

And that is why I strive every day to live a balanced life. With balance comes fulfillment. With fulfillment comes happiness. With happiness comes progress. With progress comes inspiration. And, finally, with inspiration comes balance.

    Thanks for your comment. I think striving for balance is the key word. It is not necessary to truly and certainly find balance, but to seek it is to live a life of constant growth and grace. That is the number one goal.

    A balanced person is one who excels in every field by maintaining the peace and harmony within himself.

    A personal stance of balance certainly allows the opportunity to view things more impartially and therefore less skewed from the ego standpoint. However, the ultimate in happiness is not the balance of the ego but the knowing where that ego fits in the great scheme of things: knowing who you really really are!
