Harmony, Balance, and Order

Let’s start with the key word: Balance. Balance implies there are at least two things in play, often in tension. We frequently talk about balance in terms of work-life balance, but it applies much more broadly.

Harmony is about our emotional state—keeping our life aligned in a way that feels good and manageable.

Order is about clarity. It’s not just about finding things; it’s about understanding priorities and our place in the world.

These three principles—Harmony, Balance, and Order—are essential to navigating both everyday life and major challenges.

When life throws something overwhelming at us—like the loss of a loved one, illness, or financial crisis—these principles can guide us.

• Harmony helps us manage the emotional toll.
• Balance often means knowing when to seek help—whether from a friend, a professional, or another resource.
• Order helps us put the situation into perspective and figure out how to move forward.

Even in smaller, everyday scenarios, these principles apply. For instance, let’s think about organizing our home:

• Harmony can mean creating a space that feels welcoming and enjoyable.
• Balance reminds us to decorate without disrupting the practicality of living in the space.
• Order ensures everything is arranged in a way that settles our mind and supports our routine.

There’s a strong connection between our external and internal worlds. For example, when I was in college, I couldn’t focus on writing an essay until my room was tidy. Straightening my space brought clarity to my mind.

Whether we’re tackling life’s big challenges or organizing our home, these principles help us:

1. Assess the problem.
2. Visualize the goal.
3. Plan our way forward.

Harmony, Balance, and Order—simple, yet powerful tools for living well.
