Balancing The Pendulum...

A pendulum is a great reminder of the need for balance in our lives.

When we push a pendulum to its extreme we use energy, and when the pendulum swings to the opposite extreme, it uses more energy, and continues to use energy as it swings backwards and forwards. We can stop it, but only by using even more energy….

In contrast, when the pendulum is balanced and at rest, it uses no energy, and all of that unused energy is available to us for more important things.

Extremes of work, health, nutrition, stress, and play all use energy as the pendulum swings. Imagine how much extra energy we’d have if we’d let the pendulum find its balance…
