Money and Time

The perfect balance is an abundance of both. Money to support the activities I get to do in my abundance of time.
Does it feel mutually exclusive? Or is it the perfect balance?

I feel that the balance is missing at least one other component, and that is the idea(s) that prompts you to apply time and money to it. Without the ideas there is no need for time or money.

The ideas are the stuff/energy behind the activities and items toward which you want to apply time and money.

For me the balance is between the ideas, the timeframe within which I want to implement those ideas, time and money. I can more easily achieve balance if I release the timeframe to the Universe. Once I let go of that, I can swim in the energetic mix of ideas, money and time more easily; and act with confidence when the inspiration strikes me.

In a comment to a recent post, the suggestion to add "the idea(s) that prompt you to apply time and money"... to that I say, YES!
Ideas are, of course, the missing component in this balance scenario. Wherever the idea comes from... whether it is from a reactive mind state or a responsive mind state, it is most certainly an idea that initiates the movement toward applying one's resources of time and money.
Adding the "source" of motivation to the 'time & money' is the energy that begins the movement. In psychology circles it is said that pain and pleasure are the motivators to action. I do believe that is true when I am living my life from a reactive place of action. However, when I am living from a point of responsive action, the motivation seems to come from a gentle internal "pull" toward something... an attraction, if you will, rather than a reaction to move away from something.
Thank you, for your inspiration on this thought process.
Bernie
