Life a balance
Whilst thinking on what to write came to mind an opening speech of Brian Dyson (Coca-Cola CEO) I read this in one of my motivational readings. I’d like to paraphrase if I may, thanks Mr. Dyson…
Let’s imagine life as a game in which we are juggling five balls in the air. We name them – work, family, health, friends, and spirit – and we’re keeping all of them in the air.
We will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If we drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – health, family, friends, and spirit are made of glass.
If we drop one of them, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. (Remember Humpty-Dumpty?) They will never be the same.
We must understand that. Keep it in mind, if we must.
It’s all about striving for balance in life.
