Finding Balance for life
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work - Family - Health - Friends - Spirit, and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that
work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. But how do we do this? How do we get balance in our life? First thing to remember is how important it is to have balance in our lives. We would be amazed to know how many lives are out of balance in America. Balance is a hard thing to acquire, but a very necessary. I would like to give 10 ideas that I hope will be a help to you. Number one is: Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or
the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL of the days of your life. Number two: Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. So many times it takes some severe sickness or some life changing moment to make us realize the things that are really important. Number three: Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Number four: Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you and God know what is best for you. Number five: Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Number six: Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. "Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way." Number seven: Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Number eight: Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Number nine: Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Number ten: Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together. Remember that "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a gift: that's why we call it The Present." God bless you is our prayer.
