It's Out There

From the Beatles: “And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.” There are other terms out there meaning the same thing, karma, get what you give, or my favorite, balance.

For me, balance is one of the most important things in life. We have internal mechanisms to warn us when we are out of balance yet can choose to ignore them. If we work or play too much, our bodies let us know by way of fatigue. When relationships are one-sided, we can sense it, but put it aside, make excuses, or disregard the issues rather than have a little dialog with our partner. Frustration, resentment, or total disconnect are the usual outcomes.

Some consider balance elusive, but it isn’t. It is a matter of choice. You must take time to find it, and when you do, you will know it. Balance - a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.

What is balance to you?
