"Insight"
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.
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 they were your life, for
without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your 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 to each together. Don't be afraid to
encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be
brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible
to find time. 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, a person's greatest emotional
need is to feel appreciated. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge
is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily. 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."
