So, I have been reading a book by James Patterson, one of my favourite authors, and in it he describes life like this:
Imagine Life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you are keeping all of them in the air. But one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends, integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.
It has made me think about the balls that I juggle daily and while I think I have the balance right at the moment it makes me all the more determined to keep it this way in the long run.
What is your balance like??? :)
