The Goldilocks Principle
Getting things just right
The Goldilocks principle is named after the fairy tale The Three Bears. In this tale our hero Goldilocks while in the forest comes upon the domicile of the bears and checks it out while they are away. There are three bowls of porridge: too hot, too cold and just right, and three beds: too big, too small, and just right.
Here is a post that explores the concept of fitting the person to one size bed.
Balance
Like Goldilocks it is a good idea to seek that golden path of moderation. Moderation coupled with consistency can be a powerful combination for self-development and achieving goals.
Eudemonia
Aristotle proposed that all of us are looking for the means to become wholly realized beings. Eudemonia is what he called this fully realized existence. Eudemonia can be achieved though the principle of following the golden mean. This is the ideal of moderation in all things.
