"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Norman MacEwan
Aword
that is often used in discussing spirituality is balance. In Asia this
is often described as discovering the yin and yang of life: perfect
harmony. For any successful life we need to be able to give and
receive, to make and also to take. Responsibility always
shadows balance because it stresses the need for us to be accountable
for the life we live; indeed, we have a duty to pay our dues. Family,
mortgage, living expenses all need to be paid for, so in this sense we
shouldn't ever "give away the farm." At the same time it is important
for our spiritual life to share with others, especially those in need.
Today I'm able to live this balance.
Spiritually I sacrifice what makes sense.
