Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five
balls in the air.
You name them: work, family, health, friends, and
spirit, and you're keeping all of them 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, nicked, damaged, or even shattered.
They will never be the same.
You must understand that and strive for balance in
your life.
How?
--> Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself
with others. It is because we are different that each
of us is special.
-->Don't set your goals by what other people deem
important. Only you know what is best for you.
--> 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.
--> Don't let life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or for the future. By living your life
one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
--> Don't give up when you still have something to
give. Nothing is really over until the moment you
stop trying.
--> Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than
perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us
together.
--> Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by
taking chances that we learn to be brave.
--> 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.
--> Don't run through life so fast that you forget not
only where you've been, but also where you are going.
--> Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional
need is to feel appreciated.
--> 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.
--> Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and
Today is a gift: that's why we call it - The Present
