"Balanced life. What is that?"- a question from a person living an unbalanced life
I just got through listening to the book Perpetual Motivation. In it the author explained a balanced life very well.
Reflect on the several pieces that are important to you in your life. It could be your family, finance, work, etc.
Now visualize life as you trying to balance these several plates like a Chinese acrobat where each plate represents one of the important items in your life.
As long as the plates are spinning, minimal attention once in a while continues the momentum and the plates stay spinning. If you ignore any one of the plates in order to focus on just one of the plates(i.e. work) at least one of the other plates will fall.
Today's question is:
"What are your plates and what is the minimum effort required to keep them spinning?"
