This week\u2019s question is related to full-time family travel vs. home base travel but the answer is relevant for all of us \u2014 it\u2019s principle-based and applicable to every area of life. So if you\u2019re not a full-time family traveler, you still need to listen to this episode because you\u2019re likely experiencing something similar in one or more areas of your life.

Many of us think that balance means equal. But really, contrast \u2014 the yin and yang \u2014 is more accurate to how we develop. It\u2019s why we have two hemispheres in our brain and it\u2019s why we need \u2018opposition\u2019 in all things. It is how we find meaning and purpose in our life.

But the challenge is we sabotage ourselves. We don't want to let go of what we know to puruse something different, especially when we feel like what we have is 'right'. We want to stay with the familiar, we don\u2019t want to \u2018betray\u2019 ourselves by \u2018flip-flopping\u2019 between ideas, beliefs, or lifestyles. We identify with this thing and it\u2019s become a part of who we are, so if we change them or open our minds to something opposite, what will that do to our life, family, marriage, etc?

The truth is, we NEED to do that in order to become complete, whole, and fully developed. We NEED to explore the \u2018other side\u2019. That\u2019s how we reach our full potential and become our full, complete selves. This is what we call \u2018walking the labyrinth' \u2014 exploring every area of yourself, life, etc. in order to become fully whole and complete.

But it seems scary, risky, or even wrong and \u2018inappropriate\u2019 \u2014 yet it is psychologically, biologically, mentally, and physically accurate and demonstrably true. Try it out and see for yourself. You\u2019ll find more benefits, power, development and reach more of your personal and family potential. Listen now to learn HOW.
