Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the
air. You name them - work - family - health - friends - spirit, and you are
keeping all of these balls in the air. You will soon understand the 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 one 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 nicest things closer to your heart.
Cling to them as you would 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 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 is 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 your are going.
Don't forget that 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 word 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"
