"Life is a balance of holding on and letting go." – Rumi
The journey of life has a lot of twists and turns. We are faced with many questions during our journey and so many decisions to make. Some of them are easy and some that would require a commitment or some sort of change in our daily routine.
But, the question lies here, how does "balance" play a role in all of that?
Well, when we think about it. We have to know that our decisions in life are affected by our emotions. In fact, there is a belief that when we have no emotions towards something, we would rather no choose. We all would like to think that we are making an educated decision when it comes to our life decisions. But, are we? Really?
The answer is both yes and no. It is a yes, because our mind calculates possibilities of failure and success in our next move before we even know it. Sometimes, we do even write this on a paper on consciously calculating it. However, our mind is also influenced by our emotions, therefore, its calculation might not be biased and might favor one side over the other and that is when the answer is no.
With all that being said, I think now we are bit ready to answer the first question about the role of "balance".
Since we have touched a bit about emotions, we can say that we need to find balance from within first. When we are overly happy, sad, angry or affected greatly by something from within. We tend to make decisions that are linked to that state only.
It is important to remember that even when we have a short of time to say something critical or take some decisions. To always wait for that balanced state before taking a step that will have a direct or indirect effect to our future.
