The Man Behind Scales of Life
If the header above didn’t give it away, I am Noah McRoberts, the one-man-show behind Scales of Life. Though I might be alone in this specific project, I would be foolish to suggest that I am here purely from my own efforts. In reality, all of us have been formed, shaped, and led by a variety of factors, people, and experiences, some of which seem more positive than others. My passions and goals, hobbies and interests, and hopes and dreams are revelations of a sort, finding their genesis in the ideas and habits of those before me.
Ultimately, I am a dreamer because of the artistic abilities of those like Denis Villeneuve and his production of the Dune films, Zach Bryan and his soul-capturing poetry, and Taylor Sheridan and his heart wrenching stories in 1883 and 1923.
I am a learner because of my parents’ dedication to Classical education through the liberal arts, Chris Williamson’s incessant pursuit of wisdom through his podcast, and Jordan Peterson’s fear of abdicating the truth outweighing his fear of controversy.
My hope is to keep dreaming and learning alongside you, but all the dreaming and learning is nothing without action. So, may Scales of Life serve as the action that inspires you towards acting on your dreams and knowledge.
SCALES OF LIFE
What
Scales represent balance; the balance between two extremes; the virtue between two vices; the middle ground in a debate. Balance is key to living a fulfilled and meaningful life; a balance between work, family, and personal interests; a balance between thinking and doing; a balance between rest and the grind.
Scales represent harmony and order; the specific series of notes that fit within a certain musical scale to create a musical piece. Balance helps create the order and harmony required for the purpose filled and directed life.
Scales represent resilience and defense; the outer layer of protection against the dangers and obstacles this world throws at us. When you have balance and harmony in your life, you can easily discern when the equilibrium is thrown off and how to solve the problem. It becomes a powerful, yet flexible safeguard against destruction.
