You want your friends and family to be proud of you and
your accomplishments.
You can achieve all that, and more. I'll explain to you how in a moment.
Here Is What You Are Probably Doing Right In Your Life
You are serious about improving your life, so you are probably exercising these basic career
success strategies.
You strive to perform beyond people's expectations.
You come in early and work late when needed.
You learn all you can about the product or service you
perform.
You network with your peers and seek out mentors.
But NONE of that is enough to elevate you to the personal and professional lifestyle
you want and deserve. Let me explain why...
Everything that functions properly in our world is in balance. Things that go out of balance are
quickly destroyed if left uncorrected. Think of something as simple as your washing machine's
spin cycle when you have too many wet towels on one side of the tub. It slams and bangs and
vibrates. Left unattended, the bearings or motor mounts will break and you're facing an
expensive repair bill.
Your Life Is EXACTLY Like That Washing Machine
If you are only concentrating on the basic success
steps that most motivated people take every day,
you are never going to break away from the pack
and become one of those people who actually
have everything they want and need. Your life will
be out of balance.
Leave your life out of balance long enough, and
something will break. Emotionally, spiritually,
physically, your life will begin to unwind slowly but
surely. People who live lives that are out of
balance very often experience high blood
pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression,
social and relationship problems, and more. The
negatives of living a life out of balance is destructive. It runs counter to reaching the goals you
have set for yourself. An out of balance life can even be fatal.
For thousands of years, the Chinese have known about the principle of the Yin and the Yang.
The study of this ancient concept can get very deep, but here is a simple definition: "Two
halves that together complete wholeness." Wholeness being the operative word here. The
two halves represent your body and your mind. Working together, they make your life whole.
If your life is not whole, you are banging around like those wet towels in the washing
machine.
I'm going to tell you a secret. Every really successful person you will ever meet has mastered
