The Law of Balance
The Law of Balance
By: Mike Dolpies
Everything in life must be balanced. There is no way around it!
Just think of when life gets crazy and out of control. Chances are
something or several things are out of balance. If you’re personal
life is suffering, then you maybe working too much. If your health
is failing chances are good that you brought the condition on via
being out of balance physically and in your diet.
Every circumstance in life must also, by the nature of this law, be
balanced. The fact is that everything has a price. There always has
to be some sort of trade off. If you adapt your thinking to this truth
then you’ll clearly see that most situations are neither negative nor
positive, but what you choose them to be based on what side of the
balance beam you happen to be on.
Let me give you a quick example to confirm the natural law of balance.
I had crises in one of my business. A staff member who was responsible
for day to day operation of the business decided to leave. Now, this
staff member leaving was really not the issue! I have had many staff
members come and go over the years. It was the way he went about it.
He didn’t plan on telling me that he was leaving! He was just going to
be gone, leaving my customers and me high and dry. It’s quite clear to
see what his motivation was for doing this was. He planned on opening
his own similar business with the idea that the customers would naturally
follow him. He hedged his bet with the idea that because I do not live
close enough to the business that I would not step in and run things.
He was wrong! But, the real lesson is what positive came out of this
situation.
At first glance this would seem catastrophic, but as Robert Ringer says,
“the habit of putting problems in perspective is a key to long term
success and the ability to think clearly in a crisis.” This staff member’s
thoughtless, reckless actions were actually what I and this business needed!
We needed a fresh start. We needed to clean house and get rid of
non-loyal customers who would only hurt us in the long run anyway.
We needed someone of higher quality and integrity looking after the
business on a day to day basis. That was the big positive that balanced
this situation out and truly revealed that everything happens for the best!
A gentleman who knew there was an opportunity came in and became a partner
in the business with me. He was absolutely up to the challenge and
committed to making things better!
Always remember the law of balance when life throws its un-avoidable
problems your way! Stay focused on the solutions and not the problems
and through the laws of the universe things will turn out how you
visualize them and think about them in your mind!
If you consider the law of balance in every situation you’ll easily be
able to deal with the problem knowing that it is just a matter of time
before the positive side begins to shine through!
