Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine... values and goals...Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build life you want.Nothing is unthinkable, nothing impossible to balanced person, provided it comes out of needs of life and is dedicated to life's further development.Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.The pursuit of balance is a lifelong journeWhen our lives are balanced it means we are centered. We are able to make life decisions from our core values and principles, rather than succumbing to a reactive mode or 'fire fighting'. Having balance also means being able to spend sufficient quantity and quality of time in areas that we have defined as being important to us. Life balance can be viewed in many ways. It can be a balance between home and work. Or a balance between body, mind, and soul. Or it may be a balance between one's material and spiritual lives. It is important to know what life balance means to you. To do this, you need to know what areas of your life are important to you. Why do we need life balance? If your life is balanced, you are better able to sustain your success - without burning out. A recent article in a Canadian newspaper reported that Statistics Canada has estimated that approximately $400 billion has been spent on stress-related illness in work place. In many cases, stress comes about because of lack of balance. If you are worth billions of dollars, but in process of acquiring that wealth you lose your health, what will your wealth buy you? Even best medical treatment cannot buy your physical health once it has gone. Money can also not replace loss of a family member if you have become estranged from them through process of acquiring wealth. And if your financial ambition causes you to lose your connection to your spirituality, your success will be lopsided. Balance creates synergy. An active and healthy body helps mind and spirit. When your mind is active and positive, it helps body and spirit. And when your soul is nourished, it helps body and mind. The synergistic effect that occurs through balance results in better all-round productivity. When you are able to spend enough quantity and quality of time in areas that are important to you, result is immense satisfaction with your life. You will find meaning and fulfillment and happiness. As Og Mandino, so appropriately said, "When all is said and done, success without happiness is worst kind of failure". J. Paul Getty, U.S. industrialist, puts it another way: "Doing too much or too little leads to failure". In other words, imbalance can lead you to do too much or too little. How do we find life balance? Finding life balance starts with having clarity of purpose - knowing what you want and why you want it. Without clarity, we are unable to focus. This leads us to do too much, and results in imbalance. Remember, it is not how fast you go or how efficient you are that count, but rather whether you are going in right direction. If you are heading in wrong direction, even thinking positively will help only temporarily. Knowing where you want to go helps you to say "No" to things that are not important to you.
