It is true what you say, everything must be done without excesses. However, I like it the Etievan method, based on information from Gurdjieff, "love their work, to strive, to know themselves, to develop their will, to take responsibility for their actions, assuming the consequences of these, to express their feelings, to seek the truth within your being, to focus your attention and to form your conscience, for each day to be better and to be able to face the vicissitudes of life in a positive way ".
