What if instead of seeking balance in your life you look for harmony instead?

When you picture balance you see two opposing forces acting against each other clearly separated by a point. Life rarely works that way.

With balance you have to compartmentalize, which is very difficult, actually, it’s almost impossible because it goes against nature. You yourself, a product of nature are not balanced but exist in harmony.

So how do you accept harmony instead of balance?

The most important step is to realize or admit that you cannot carve out separate parts of your mind for certain situations. All your thoughts and subsequent actions are influenced by your entire life experience. For example, what this means is that when you show up for school or work, the events that happen at home or in your relationships will affect how you behave and vice versa. There is no, leaving certain parts of you behind.

So instead of trying to balance, learn to embrace harmony. Stop trying to be a different person for every situation, it’s exhausting and can cause you to resent not being able to be yourself.

It might take some time for you to get used to being your entire self wherever you go but eventually, you’ll learn to appreciate not having to compartmentalize yourself.  And the best part of living in harmony is that the sooner do, the less you’ll struggle to find the ever-elusive balance in your life.
