Don’t break these balls!

My friend Jessica told me about this today.  I know Nora Roberts, Brian Dyson and a few others have written or made speeches using this analogy and thought it was a good advice for now:

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these 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.

Brian Dyson

One of the balls in the air is you. Health and spirit are all you.  One way to ensure those balls don’t get damaged is to take a Woment.

Thanks Jessica and Brian for the reminder.
