Listen to a beautiful piece of music like Beethoven’s Fifth. You can hear the notes. You can also hear the pauses. But there is one thing that is integral to the music and which truly moves you.
You can’t notice it on your first listen. But if you speed up or slow down the music, you notice it. Something feels off. Something you just can’t quite put your finger on. It’s lacking something.
It’s lacking one thing: Harmony
Harmony is the sense of right proportion. A sense of balance. A sense of “enough”.
Composers are highly skilled in creating this sense of harmony in their music. And any truly skilled artist can do the same with their medium.
But in your daily life, do you have it? Are you able to say that you have the right proportion of anything?
Can you work hard and then relax just as hard with your family and friends? Can you lead and then follow in equal amounts? Can you create as well as destroy?
Harmony isn’t a word that you talk about. But it’s a concept that’s fundamental to living your best life. You need to know the right proportion of what you want, in order to enjoy it. So..
Are you thinking about harmony?
