Successful Recipe

Balance. Consistency.

These make up the core of success at any level for anything imaginable. Think about it for a moment; savour the thought; ponder it. Makes sense, does it not? Of course it does; the profoundest truths of life are all simple, as I have already demonstrated my love for simplicity. But in order to understand soemthing we must define it and so I proceed to do just that.

Balance is the state of harmony, of dynamic motionless, things are moving but appear to be in a state of constancy. How might that be? To the mathematically inclined balance is a 50 - 50 state but is that always the case? That is a common occurrence and very naturally the one first considered but one has to have a working knowledge of levers of disprove that notion. But we must remember that in such cases the balance is apparently motionless; not quite true. There is motion as one force moves (this is not an intended pun but anyone who has a basic knowledge of physics will attest to the fact that a force produces motion in the absence of opposing forces, think of pushing against a wall and suddenly the wall is removed) against the other to keep the balance, a slight shift of positions and the balance is disrupted.

What then of consistency you ask. What consititutes a consistent approach? Firmness of belief, honesty, sincerity, and truthfulness all make up consistency. For one must possess these qualitites to be truly consistent. It is a devotion to an ideal, code, or personal philosophy as you may choose. A devotion with sincerity, honesty and strong mindedness but there is a secret to even that; and that is an open-mind and open-heart. One must keep an honest willignness to learn to improve oneself. Consistency is not holding onto a value for the rest of your life and not changing when you see that there can be a better way or better ideal. That is ignorance! Jumping from one value to another is still not consistent.

In both of these qualities you will see that it takes time to achieve the balance and takes time to define one's values to appraoch life with a consistent set of ethos. And that is the last quality of success; patience!
