What if this year isn’t about doing more, but about living better? What if balance—not busyness—is the goal for the year ahead?

This year, choose a way of life that can hold both joy and pain. Equilibrium is not the absence of trouble—it’s learning how to live well in the middle of it.

From believing in the big to resting in the small moments, Equilibrium is a way of life. Thirty-one reminders for a year that may not be smooth—but can be meaningful.

Let’s be honest—balance is learned, not assumed.

Life doesn’t suddenly smooth out because the calendar changes. Uneven ground remains. Old habits resurface. Schedules fill quickly.

That’s why equilibrium isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily practice.

Sometimes it looks like believing in the big promises of God. Sometimes it looks like faithfulness in the smallest moments. Sometimes it means resting. Other times, enduring. Always, learning.

Today, don’t aim for perfection. Aim for presence. Aim for wisdom. Aim for living well—right where you are.

And as we practice again today, we do so trusting that God is with us—steady, near, and faithful—helping us live with equilibrium on uneven ground.

Today’s blog is from Chris Maxwell’s book Equilibrium.
