Y is for YIN-YANG
PERFECTION and BALANCE are 2 things that each one of us is
striving for in our life. But the irony is that we are trying to achieve it in
a completely non-conducive environment which consist of a world that’s
overflowing with information & knowledge; mind that is filled to the brim
with chaos and commotion and a body that is all the time busy multi-tasking. We
are aiming for the improbable considering the dynamic eco-system we live and
operate in. The best way to achieve balance is to seek progression instead of
perfection and move forward. The moment we start accepting the duality of everything
in life, we will achieve balance in life. This principle of duality is YIN-YANG,
a concept/ approach which helps us deal effectively with uncertainties of life -
ups and downs, good times and bad times, opportunities and challenges.
Why is YIN-YANG important ?
