What Is Balance?
Balance, in any system, is achieved by increasing everything that is deficient and by decreasing everything that is excessive. This basic principle applies no matter how complex the system or how simple the system.
No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, you are part of one or more systems. In order to harmonize yourself with these systems, it is necessary for you to constantly strive to achieve balance within each of its smaller subsystems.
An Example
For example, look at an automobile. In order for an automobile to operate at peak efficiency, each of its smaller subsystems must also be balanced so that they will operate at their own peak efficiency. The tires must have the right amount of air. The battery must be fully charged. The radiator must be full of coolant. The list goes on and on.
It Applies Anywhere
This basic principle can be applied to all systems; no matter how large or small; no matter how complex or simple.
