“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that you've got it made.” Groucho Marx

Balance is expressed as much in our dealing with others as it is with ourselves. To live a balanced life we strive to be fair both to ourselves and to our neighbor. The late Stephen Covey referred to this as a “win win” Only enter into an arrangement where both sides win. We may wonder if the Christian point of view means that we are willing to lose and let our neighbor win. This is not the case because if our neighbor wins and we lose, our neighbor will ultimately be the loser and we should not settle for that. Balance is when both sides win.

  “A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.” Prov.11.1 Conversations Within” ts 8/14/2018
