A Balanced Life

"There is nothing simple or easy about becoming a congruent human being. Yet, accomplishing inner congruence is the jewel around which spins all the other goals we associate with the reasons we pursue a spiritual path. You cannot be truly healthy if you are out of alignment; you cannot be truly honest with yourself or others if your head and heart exist as two separate forces within you; you cannot ever know what the fulfilled life is about if you are always compromising your intuition and inner guidance for fear of the consequences; you can never consider yourself a truly honest person if you live a life of continual compromise and self-betrayal. Nor can you fully heal when you fear truth and honesty. " -- Caroline Myss

Finding our balance is the goal of each day of our lives. When we are out of balance, we drive ourselves crazy and all those we come in contact with during our day. A book I read when I was much younger really drove this point home. In I Dare You, the author, William Danforth, states that only about 10% of the population will find that balance in their lives and they will be the most successful.
