BALANCE IS ESSENTIAL FOR ACHIEVING COMPLETENESS

1. A fine sense of balance is essential for achieving completeness in our lives:-
a) Balance between activity side and being & feeling side
b) Balance between the inner world and the outer world
c) Balance between logic and intuition, and
d) Balance between our capabilities and our shadow areas.
2. Beyond a certain point, too much of even a good thing is bad, hence balance needs to be our watchword, by conscious cultivation of a sense of balance in different areas of thought, emotion and behaviour, which can help us to be at peace with ourselves and with the world in the worst of crises.
3. Every human being arrives at some kind of equilibrium through an unconscious process, and more often than not it is an uneasy compromise or truce settled through inertia and laziness.
4. However, it is the balance that we achieve through conscious decision and personal growth that contributes to our personal well-being.
5. Try to balance the internal pressure for doing things better and faster, with acceptance of your natural internal rhythm.
6. If you have been taking yourself a trifle too seriously, learn to relax and be comfortable with yourself.
7. If you feel a compulsive urge to do something all the time, cultivate the habit of just letting yourself be, and savour each moment as it comes.
8. If you have got used to finding fault, learn to accept, understand and forgive.
9. If you have got used to wearing your pretensions on your face in the form of a scowl, learn to smile and develop a sense of humour.
