looking for balance

My definition of looking for balance is, becoming aware of when to give and when to take, also what is needed and what needs to be left alone. Allowing is another word.

Learning to hold the pain and the beauty of life is a balancing act and is also allowing these feeling to be felt at the same time. Not easy but important.

Balance isn’t boring, it’s really being present.

In the words of Lao Tzu and looking to nature for inspiration and balance.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like Lao Tzu

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius
