Balance

Have you ever seen a man paddling a canoe on a lake or across any body of water? If you have, then one thing you will notice is the fact that they paddle on both sides of the canoe and not one no matter how calm the water is. Why? A canoe being paddled on just one side never goes forward rather bends into a curve!

In life, just like the man in the canoe, we need to find a balance in all we do. Be it academics, career, business or even relationships because if you paddle on one side alone then you should be ready to go round in circles and not forward!

It is a very simple rule but  sadly only a few have mastered the art. And so you see people extremely successful in one area and a total failure in another, it is all about balance..

You get to the peak of your career, but you do not have any friend who can call you by your name or tell you point blank when you are wrong because everyone around you is within the working circle. You disconnected with your friends a long time ago and you did not even notice because you were fixated on achieving career success, balance.

If relationship success was based on money alone, then all the poor couples in the village without "baecation", cinemas, ice-cream and 4G network in my village would have died of hypertension! But you see, the moment you strike that balance, instead of that relationship to curve out of existence it marches forward step by step day by day.

Take a short trip into any area of your life that isn't moving as planned or expected, it might be that you have been paddling too long on another side, Strike that balance and watch things naturally obey this law of nature.
Stay blessed
