Learning To Balance Our Life

For many of us, living a balanced life would be ideal. A life without stress and drama. This would be the perfect scenario, but it wouldn't be a true reflection of balance. To be in balance would mean to live somewhere between a chaotic and peaceful existence. Learning to ground oneself, so that you are never too far from the center. We are like the Sequoia trees, planted firmly in the ground for hundreds of years. No matter what comes our way, we stand strong. So live a balanced life by experiencing all there is in life while continuing on our path. Today, take the time to concentrate on your breathing. It should be steady and strong. Whenever you find yourself breathing to rapidly because of what you're experience, quickly quiet yourself and concentrate on slowing down your breathing. Between your breaths say to yourself three times, "This too shall pass". Mastering your breathing is the first step towards balancing your life.
No one has ever said our journey would be a smooth one,
but we can find beauty along the path if we choose to open our eyes...
