Harmony

I know my priorities and I meet them.

I am harmony. I am composed of different elements and every musical not e of my life has its appropriate importance. None of them can have equal significance, for if they did, there would be noise and no melody in my life at all.

I am harmony. Every aspect of my life takes a proportionate share of my time and energy. I do not fret and fume about balancing my resources in order to see that each department gets an identical amount. I realize that harmony is all about knowing priorities and meeting them. Only then do I create a timeless  symphony.

I am harmony. Every person I meet sings a different song and I appreciate it. Since I know it, I accompany his or her tune and add a note to it. Thus I will contribute to the album of brotherhood.

Harmony, proportion, symmetry, balance: these nouns mean aesthetic arrangement marked by proper distribution of elements. Harmony is the pleasing interaction or appropriate combination of elements: the harmony of your facial features. Proportion is the agreeable relation of parts within a whole: a house with rooms of gracious proportion. Symmetry and balance both imply an arrangement of parts on either side of a dividing line, but symmetry frequently emphasizes mirror-image correspondence of parts, while balance often suggests dissimilar parts that offset each other harmoniously: flowers planted in perfect symmetry around the pool.“In all perfectly beautiful objects, there is found the opposition of one part to another, and a reciprocal balance” (John Ruskin).  – Answers.com

(Speaking on Harmony) We all know someone who has all their financial ducks in a row—a real go-getter with a flourishing business and an impressive portfolio—whose personal life is in shambles. There’s no one to share their success with, or their “life partner” is someone they don’t even know anymore. In one area of life, this superstar earns rave reviews, yet in another area, they’re hurting bad! – healthygreenmoms

Think of a scale. In perfect balance, nothing’s happening. There’s no dynamism, no life or vibrancy. Now, think of a jazz band in action—the life and vibrancy are palpable, aren’t they? The performers in this band have less to do with playing the melody as written and more to do with improvising. They give life to nuance and the music takes shape in the moment. That’s harmony. The different parts aren’t balanced—sometimes the saxophone leads. Sometimes it’s the bass, or the drum or lead guitar. Whatever instrument is out in front at the moment, they’re all contributing, all creating that amazing thing called music. Each musician plays his part of a magical, magnificent whole. James Ray

Freedom

I exercise my power of choice. I choose freedom.

I am free neither in the past nor am I free in the future. My freedom is in the now. It is in the present. And no one can ever take away my freedom. Neither can anyone grant me freedom. For freedom is in my very nature. It is a part of me.

I may not have eternity in my hands but the sixty seconds I have, I am free to use them or lose them. I may not possess the wealth of the earth but I know that I have  free access to earth’s greatest treasure that lies in human personality**.

I may not be able to control the events that happen in my life or to me but I have the freedom to choose what I do with them. I may be bruised, battered or broken, maimed, mangled or mutilated, shackled, shocked or shot but this I know that it is possible to find freedom within oneself.

I know that my freedom is founded on the choices I make. I am therefore conscious that at every moment I am free to choose either a course of action or a decision or an emotion or a response. The choice I make is the price I pay for my freedom.

I have learned that none but I chain myself, that none but I free myself. I now understand that true freedom is the light of the soul. It always exists. All I need to do is to remind myself of it unceasingly.

There is always a price to be paid for Freedom, / but when the price becomes too high, a man must fight. -Freedom Poem by Ron Carnell

From the creed of the Junior Chamber International : “We believe: That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life; That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations; That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise; That government should be of laws rather than of men; That earth’s great treasure lies in human personality; And that service to humanity is the best work of life.”

Inspired by the writings of Jacques Lusseyran, the Blind Hero of the French Resistance: And There Was Light and Against the Pollution of the I. His autobiography, And There Was Light was selected as one of USA Today’s 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Century, this astonishing autobiography tells the gripping, heroic story of the early life of Jacques Lusseyran, an inspiring individual who overcame the limitations of physical blindness by attending — literally — to the light within his own mind. Through faith in the connection between vivid inner sight and outer events, he became a leader in the French Resistance and survived the horrors at Buchenwald.

Freedom is like birth. Till we are fully free, we are slaves…Freedom of the individual is at the root of all progress. – Mahatma Gandhi
