It would seem that a huge thrust of people is to have balance. Balance in their life, their home, business, practice, team etc. Much time, energy and money is spent trying to bring life into balance and yet all too often this goal is not accomplished.
Maybe our perception of balance has a missing component to it. I suggest that the thing that gives balance its form is time.
Without the vantage point of looking at events from a bigger time perspective it might seem as though, in any given moment there is a lack of balance.
To state an obvious example, in the middle of the night there is no light and all we have is dark – however, wait for the required time and you receive light for another period of time which balances out the period of dark.
When we look at the short term it appears that nothing is ever in balance and yet when we look at the long term everything is ultimately in balance – e.g. seasons, cycles, rise and fall of countries, wealth, political cycles etc.
There is a time for everything and everything happens in its own time.
This week consider where you are trying to bring life, home, business, practice, team etc. into balance and ask yourself whether this effort is ignoring the factor of time?
