Harmony! Two parts (or more) blending together to create a coherent whole. Harmony can be musical, beautiful sound. Harmony can be company busy bodies moving all around. Christmas time creates both harmony and discord. Families that work together to cook, to chat, to unwrap presents and do all that. There is always opportunity to create more peace, bless one another, and achieve greater familial mystique.
Every new discussion, new event is a new opportunity to create greater harmony in the group. Creating harmony is about give and take. It is important that people contribute where they are most valuable. Being in a family requires work. There's dinner to be made, homes to clean, activities to choose and more. We all have to contribute to make sure the family is healthy and happy. To be a contributing member we should contribute both in a way that is helpful and that is enjoyable.
Like the picture associated takes on a piece of the ocean so that the cliff around it does not have to erode as quickly, so people will give more ground in some areas more than others. For example, some people can work in the yard all day and not tire as quickly as someone else who is better suited to cook dinner. We give ground in some areas, so that we are able to contribute to the whole.
"Authorities act with themselves in mind. Leaders act with others in mind. Authorities take. Leaders give. Authorities die. Leaders live on." - Simon Sinek
We are all leaders in our family and it starts with hard work for all people in the group. Family is built every day with each individual acting to benefit the whole.
