Every STRING matters…


           Life feels great only when its various strings are in harmony, just like a guitar sounds melodious only when it is well tuned. That means, life feels great when health, relationship, finances, work and self esteem (various strings) are well tuned and in harmony.


          Actually, tuning refers to the process of adjusting the pitch of every string on the guitar. An out tuned guitar means that the pitch is either high or too low in relation to its reference pitch. In layman terms, the strings of an out of tune guitar are either too tight or too loose, they are out of balance. If one string of a guitar is out of tune, the guitar fails to produce rhythmic music…


         Similarly, as in the case in a guitar, the various strings of our life too need just the right amount of tension to be satisfying. Too much or too little tension, and out goes the tune of our life!...

         As a matter of fact, when things are not going well, we can be certain that some string of our life is out of synch. And since we are integrated being, even one out of tune string is enough to disturb the rhythm of our life.

         Do not throw everything out of balance… Many people think of balance as an impossible to achieve ideal. To them, balance is an overused, impractical health cliché. I like to emphasize, if you are one of them.  It’s time to change your opinion for higher achievements.  
           In life just as in Nature, balance is everything...
  

A beginner learning to balance an act!
          Like lack of exercise is unhealthy, too much exercise is equally so. If eating too much is unhealthy, eating too less is no different. Even in relationships, prolong absence is as bad as constant togetherness. Many people sacrifice sleep for accommodating their work, fitness or relationship…
 
           In brief, too much or too little of anything is always, without exception counterproductive.

         Attain the right balance...
