Balancing Life Part Deux

In balancing life, I just wanted to talk a bit about how I have been balancing my life. I work, man I have made over $40k in a month on multiple occasions. Until recently, I managed to consistently make between $10k and $15k per month. I would work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. It was all for the business. Well, due to the birth of my new baby I have realized that I couldnt care less. The more money I would make, the more I would spend and I have just as much in savings as I would if I worked the bare minimum that I am able to.

I used to work to build my business, BSO, I wanted to build a legacy and wanted it now. I am a guy that built a million dollar plus portfolio out of pennies and thought I was completely in the right. It was completely near sighted, patience is a virtue and all of that. I guess right now I am overcorrecting as I dont care to acquire another listing and sure dont want to deal with another property right now. It is good though as I am now hiring people to do all of the work that I dont want to do and hopefully the company is growing without me.

In fact, I have decided to sell one of my half finished renovations at a huge loss and another property that I dont care to deal with anymore. I am going to lose in the short term but the happiness that I am able to bring to my family pales in comparison.

This brings on two more of the laws of spirit. The cycles law and the law of nonresistance. These two laws definitely deserve their own blog posts each and I hope to give them to them but for now I will just touch on them. The law of nonresistance is what I practice in my martial arts training and involves never forcing anything. You may call it going with the flow or plainly nonresistance. In Jiu-jitsu I try to be like water flowing around my training partner and moving with his every push or pull. If he pushes I pull, if he resists I change position, I constantly am moving away from what he doesnt want me to do and using my energy or ki as the Japanese say it to control what he wants.

Can you understand that? It is just the same in life. I have referred to this process before as being in the flow of the universe. I have even written about it in this blog http://investingrocks.com/?p=255 - Manifesting.

The cycles of life are also very important. Look at your life, when your baby was born - how did your life change, how about high school or college, can you remember these cycles. The laws of spirit teach us to recognize these cycles, good or bad appreciate them, and move forward. Have you lost a loved one, discovered the negativity of family members and had to part ways with them? Im sorry for your loss and try to appreciate the reason for it, as hard as it may seem, there are reasons for your pain. As far as parting from family, can you appreciate that member of your family is unable to be more open or is trapped in his way of thinking.

That would bring me to a whole different topic, the topic of lucid living but we will get into that in another post.
