Maintain balance within and without. Neither too much nor too little. Neither excess nor restriction but a happy median where all is acceptable and allowed experience, in moderation. In balance one finds one’s center, the place of calmness and peace, the center of giving and receiving, the place of equanimity, where without need or desire all things are given life. Even when it’s time to party, party with exuberant moderation. Even when it’s time to give, give with generous moderation. Even when it’s time to mourn, mourn with soulful moderation, knowing that all things change, and that life itself calls for change if it is to evolve. Take the first steps to your own evolution by instigating the idea that moderation is the key to gaining balance. It’s up to you to take that first step that will soon lead to a balance of lively happiness and calm peacefulness, within and without. It all begins with you. Show the rest of the world how it’s done. As within, so without.
