Touré Roberts - The Blessing of Balance

Today, I want to talk about the blessing of balance. We’re going to discuss balance, which has a divine rhythm to life that we are wise to understand and master. It’s called balance, and when we find the rhythm of balance, things will begin to click properly and start working the way they are meant to work, functioning optimally. When you’re balanced, you’re at your highest self, and you can even tap into your highest divine sensitivities. We’re going to unpack what it means to be balanced. It’s going to be a wonderful word today. When you’re balanced, it unlocks your highest divine sensitivities, and your overall awareness is heightened. Oh man, this is a series in itself. As it relates to sensitivities and awareness, I reflect on my own awareness when I was in that state of balance. I became aware of things happening within my family or one of my companies or organizations, even those hidden things. When I was in that state of balance and alignment, those concealed matters became clear. Oh no, the state of balance is everything; it is the highest version of who you are. When you are balanced, family, you can do anything. In fact, not only can you do anything, but you can do everything that God has placed in your heart to do. Stay with me. If you’re tracking with me, say, «I’m tracking, I’m tracking.» If you want to be balanced, if you want to understand balance, say, «Balance me, Lord. Balance me, Lord.»

As we dig a little deeper into balance, at a foundational level, balance means being measured. What does it mean to be measured? According to the Collins Dictionary, to be measured means to be proportioned by a standard. Proportion means to cause to be in proper relation, harmony, or balance. So, let’s run that back. To be balanced means to be measured, hallelujah, and to be measured means to be proportioned by a standard. When you think about productivity, it’s not solely about activity; it’s about discovering the right life mixes that create the balance leading you to your highest output. Let me give a better analogy: it’s like making the perfect dish where you have just enough of this, not too much of that, not too little of this, a pinch of this, a sprinkle of that, and a hint of that. You get the idea; it’s art. We’re talking about proportion and balance. Just like cooking, you can have the exact same ingredients, but if you measure them or mix them differently, you’ll end up with a completely different outcome. Just as the perfect dish won’t make itself, the thing called balance, which we will continue to unpack, requires intentionality and practice. You can and will achieve it, but we must get to this place called balance.

If you’re taking notes, write this down: a balanced life is more achievable when it occurs daily. This is very important. A balanced life is more attainable when it happens daily because at the heart of balance is discipline and commitment to a rhythm. Balance is a rhythm of daily discipline and commitment, guided by the Holy Spirit, formulated according to your identity and assignment. Can I teach you? If you’re with me, just let me take my time, not shouting but teaching. Put in the comments, «Teach PT, Teach PT,» because I want to bring you to this place of alignment and balance, and things are going to break loose for you as this unfolds. If you allow me to be Professor TP, or Professor Turay, I believe that we’re going to come out of this better. I’m trying to bring us to a place where we function at an exceptionally high level. Are you tracking with me?

It’s something practiced daily. If you’re taking notes, write this down as a declaration of self-affirmation: «My daily goal is not busy; it’s balance.» My daily goal is not to be busy. Some people think that busyness is a blessing, but not always. My aim is not to fill my calendar with busyness; my goal is to find the balance that God has ordained. When I am balanced, my highest productivity emerges, my awareness is heightened, and my sensitivity increases. I see things I don’t normally see, and I move in ways I wouldn’t usually move. I am the most present I have ever been or will ever be when I’m balanced. I must achieve balance. Are you tracking with me? I want you to put it in the comments: «My goal is not busy; it’s balanced.» Write it right there.
