The Balance Wheel of Life
Last week we were introduced to the Balance Wheel of Life, not to be confused with the hamster wheel of life.
Ever feel you're going to and fro, but not quite getting to where you want to be? When on a hamster wheel instead of a balance wheel, it is easy to forget our values and priorities.
As we arrive at the midpoint of 2021, it is a great time to check-in and do a self-assessment as to whether we are thriving or not. Thrive is our theme word for the year.
After talking to many of you personally about a multitude of subjects this year, I realize that balance is a key to thriving which is where the Balance Wheel comes into play. Last week, we all committed to becoming more balanced in specific areas where the Balance Wheel showed us we were out of alignment. It is already paying dividends in my life. To me, the only way we can live a balanced life is to develop strong values that guide our actions. Imbalance happens for me when we haven't lived our values in a certain situation - maybe holding a grudge, if we haven't been honest with someone, or are being selfish.
I believe we're all here on this earth to not only discover our own values, but
to also bring certain values to others. What we do occupation-wise for example is just the vehicle to give others these values. We would love for you to join us this week, and I look forward to us all developing a more balanced life, one that is rooted in the divine.
For more explanation on the Balance Wheel and how it can add to your life take a look at last week's service using the link below in this e-news.
