Importance of Balance

Good Ideas happen when you are in balance. Nearly all of us run full-speed ahead out-of-balance, or at least I do.

I have developed a way to determine my balance and I want to share it with you. Let's start with FAITH, and whatever that means for you. Stephen Covey in Seven Habits of Highly Effective People speaks well on this subject.

Before we proceed any further, let's investigate what FAITH means to you. For many, it automatically refers to religion. For some, it could be spirituality. I heard that the difference between religion and spirituality is those seeking religion are looking to avoid hell and those seeking spirituality have already been through it!

FAITH can be what you believe in - for some, it is their work life. For others, it's their immediate family. Some people only have FAITH in cold hard cash. Whatever it is, you must first determine what it is, then find where you are on the scale in terms of where you want to be, with 0 meaning you have no FAITH, and 100 means you are exactly where you want to be in FAITH in your life.

Think of a scale between 0 and 100 and determine where you are on that scale with relation to FAITH. Since you are reading this, you are already off of 0, so you are at least at 10.
