world as well.<br />
This means to be vigilantly aware and let go of any negative thought patterns and behaviors that may block the<br />
harmonious flow of life, so love, success and abundance can flow into our life without obstruction.<br />
3. Balance yin and yang. In our success-driven and consumption-oriented culture, yin and yang are out of<br />
balance. It takes conscious efforts to balance them in our daily living – balancing work and play, activities and<br />
rest, excitement and contentment, ambition and acceptance, materialism and spirituality.<br />
4. Live in the Einstein time. Many of us either feel<br />
constantly rushed, with-<br />
out enough time to do all<br />
the things we want to<br />
do, or feel bored with too<br />
much time on our hands. The truth is that<br />
we’re where time comes from – we can expand<br />
time by doing<br />
what we love and spending<br />
time with people we<br />
love, or we can condense<br />
time by doing the oppo-<br />
site.<br />
Creating a harmonious<br />
relationship with time is<br />
one of the key ingredi-<br />
ents to living a harmonious<br />
life. And the key is to<br />
be fully present with whatever<br />
you’re doing, to<br />
live in the present moment<br />
– not the past, not the future.<br />
I must admit that this is the biggest challenge for me. But with practice, I’m getting better at it every day.<br />
5. Expect change. The unbendable law of nature is change, whether we like it or not. If we form a mindset to<br />
expect and accept changes in our day and our life, we’re much more likely to live in a state of harmony.<br />
6. Live in the flow. There are certain cyclical flows in nature. The sun rises and falls. The moon waxes and<br />
wanes. The seasons come and go. There’s time for everything. To live in harmony is to learn to live with the<br />
flow of life rather than against it.<br />
7. Grow and expand. If something is not growing, it’s decaying and dying. This requires us to continuously<br />
renew, shedding the old and creating the new. This also offers exciting opportunities for us to expand in love,<br />
joy, success and abundance.<br />
May we all live in harmony, starting from our inner world and expanding into our outer world. May we all experience<br />
love, joy, beauty and harmony – every moment of every day…<br />
