Today I want to talk about balance, this mystical creature that everyone thinks exists but doesn't necessarily exist. While I was preparing for this episode I recalled a video called Everything is Spiritual, in it Rob Bell talks about how perfectly balanced the world is and it's so interesting to hear how if even one thing was different how it wouldn't work, it makes me believe the earth may be the only truly balanced thing.

I think that balance is something we all struggle to achieve and as a mom, I think we struggle with this the most. We want to be at every event, but sometimes it's just not possible and then we end up beating ourselves up over it. Balance is a fairy tale and I want to get real about it.

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss

It is okay not to be perfect. It's not about balance or being perfect, it's about being in the moment, celebrating the wins, and being grateful for what we have in life. Balance is actually boring, it does not exist. Let's embrace the messy and be happy that the clouds are coming through because we know the storm will eventually pass and the sun will still be there.

This is episode 147 of Bella in Your Business. Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where Bella will discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready — Bella's got your chute. Let's jump. Welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta and I'm your host today. Today I want to talk about balance — this mystical creature that's kind of like a unicorn that everyone thinks exists that doesn't necessarily exist. But while I was preparing to come to you with this show and building my show notes, I recalled a video. It's pretty powerful. It's called Everything is Spiritual. Go check it out on YouTube. It's by Rob Bell. And at the beginning of this about hour-long video, he says something where he talks about the balance of the earth.

As I was preparing to talk to you guys today, I was just thinking about how I think the earth is one of the only things that's truly so perfectly balanced. If you moved any one of the knobs differently, it would be very unbalanced. Let me tell you what I mean. He says that we are 93 million miles from the sun, and if we were 92 or 94, we'd burn up. We are 23.5% tidally locked, so our earth is at that percentage of a tilt, and it’s so that one side of the earth doesn't just always face the sun and burn up. Forty percent of the gravitational pull is from the sun, and 60% is from the moon, therefore giving us the perfect gravitational pull. We have 0.007 hydrogen to sustain life. If we had 0.006 or 0.008, we wouldn't exist. There's 21% oxygen — again, if it was less or more, we wouldn't exist, like poof, out of existence. And there's 3.4% salt in the oceans, which oddly enough is the same amount of salt that is in our bloodstream, apparently.

I just found all this really fascinating because when we're talking about balance in our life, balance is something that's very, very, very hard to achieve. Something’s always got to give at one point or another. I think that balance is something we add to all of our stress, and we just don't realize that things ebb and flow. And I really want to dive into that today.
