Creating Balance
- Tuesday, August 3, 2010
I recently found out a good friend has cancer. First, there is shock and then the worry. How could this happen? I just saw her, she looked fine. Then I got the news that another friend from church passed away yesterday. It makes you stop and think about how quickly things can change. I have to ask myself, am I living my life as fully as I think I am?
Times like these underscore the need for balance. I get caught up in the process of work, results and efficiency, and seldom have time for anything else. I've got a terrific 'work plan' for work. But maybe I lack a plan for life itself. There's never enough time left for friends, for exercise or for down time. The idea that everything could suddenly stop because of serious illness or death has made me revisit my life's 'work plan.'
I need to create balance . . . for body, mind and soul. My 'to do list' will just have to include those things that will benefit my personal being.
Life is short. As they say, we only do this once. When you work, work hard, when you live, live to your fullest potential. This is going to be my new plan.Labels: balance work and life, your fullest potential
