As long as we remember to take some time for ourselves and keep life simple, working hard will help us uplift ourselves and the rest of the world.
I think we’d benefit from employing a balance between working hard, playing hard and resting, and I say this so much because of its relevance to the spiritual path, which we’ll have to stay balanced if we want to successfully traverse.
The chaos of the world can cause us to want to focus on one aspect of life, like our work, so we don’t have to face the other aspects we don’t care for. As we’re learning, however, we’ll have to embrace everything that comes with life if we want true upliftment.
One of the best ways to embrace life is to embrace every part of it, including our play, our rest and our challenges. Working hard is one of the best things we can do with our time here, and as long as we remember to embrace everything else about this difficult yet wonderful life, the balance that results will enrich our lives and inspire us to work even harder.
Will you balance out your life today?
Stay aware!
