I remember a person describing a plant that had become very large and the person was telling about the daily care of the beautiful plant. The plant was in front of a window and the person said that each day the plant had to be turned. The plant was drawn to the light from the window and would naturally be full of new shoots of growth on the side of the window.
The person said that each day the plant had to be turned or else the plant would eventually strangle itself. By turning the plant regularly a balance was kept for a healthier and more vibrant plant.
I am not comparing myself to a plant but I have heard that people are drawn towards happiness. This thought makes me ponder that we must keep turning as we are drawn to happiness. To be balanced we must remember we have needs for physical happiness but we also have needs for our spiritual, emotional and psychological well being. Happiness, in only one area of our life will eventually be strangling to us and be out of balance for a fullness of life and productivity.
We have to take time to have all aspects of our design to be in a atmosphere of peace, balance and happiness. By doing so, we are turning ourselves to enjoy all aspects of being drawn towards happiness and we will see the flourishing effects it will have in all areas of our life.
The turning will not only bring a balanced life but it will also make us stronger in all aspects of our life. This in "turn" brings a remarkably happy and fulfilled lifestyle that is balanced and not strangling in any way to us.
