Law of Balance

One aspect of the New-Age philosophy of “Law of Attraction” is that we become what we think about. If we think about giving, whether big or small, we will be provided for in return. I like to think of this as the “Law of Balance”. The world is full of balances, good/bad, Yin/Yang, black/white, positive/negative, masculine/feminine and balance in life is important. While at any specific point of time any one of these parts of the equation may bring things out of balance, in the grand scheme of things all balance out. At times these temporary imbalances are a result of our need to experience and hopefully learn a life-lesson, or, to aid another individual. My belief is that there really are no mistakes in making decisions as each choice leads us to a path that enables the learning experience. What we do on that path is largely determined by our perspective of the situation and subsequent reaction.

This reminds me of a story about a young woman who had been struggling and her lesson taught by her mother. In the kitchen were 3 pots of boiling water. In one pot, carrots were placed. In the second, eggs. The 3^rd pot held ground coffee beans. All were taken out of their respective pots after about 20 minutes, the water of the coffee bean pot being ladled into a cup. Mom pointed out that each of the items had faced the same adversity, boiling water and each had reacted differently. The carrot went into the water hard, strong and unyielding. It came out softened and weak. The egg had been fragile, its liquid inside protected by a thin shell going in but was now hardened inside. The coffee grounds had actually changed the water, its one-time adversary, into something pleasant. Many lessons presented by this experience. Make the most of your situation, you can't control the actions of others but you can control your reaction and you can change adversity into a part of your new, fantastic, balanced world.

Giving and taking are always equal in nature as the cycle of life and the interconnectedness is and has been the constant of eternity. In every day life, a financial, health, relationship crisis an bring valuable lessons to life. If dwelling on the “Woe is me” factor these lessons may very well go unnoticed and a learning opportunity missed. If we look at the situation as an experience, we will move on with life and see it as a wonderful experience. Try it – you just might like it!
