Finding Balance

Being in school right now, I'm finding it hard to do this. I have a feeling it's going to be worse when I start TWZ because I'm just going to want to focus on it ALL the time. But I can't let it consume me because even though I don't have kids, I have a husband. And he'll need attention, too. I love to read and I want to find time for that. I love to write, but my muse has left me since I've been in school. I can't let that die. One of my favorite people, Tom Suddes, had something to say about that....


SEEK BALANCE. The idea that you can’t have reasonable ‘BALANCE’ seems absurd to me.

It’s your life. If given the choice of balancing your work, business, career with your LIFE, why wouldn’t we always choose LIFE?

When somebody says, “Get a life“, that’s what they mean. Make a life… not a living.
We’re all terminally ill. I’ve been around a lot of workaholics and ‘busy’, ‘busy’ people. They’re all going to die. When you talk to old people like me, they will remind you that your children will never be this age again. Your parents will eventually be gone. Your brothers and sisters will be spread around the country. (And, if they’re really honest, they”ll tell you that the whole ‘quality time’ vs. ‘actual time’ is just a cop out.)


Master motivator Zig Ziglar says,

“TRUE SUCCESS REQUIRES BALANCE.”

He goes on to say that

“SUCCESS is only real if it encompasses

physical, mental, spirit,

relationships, career and finances.”

Don’t listen to all the people who tell you that BALANCE is impossible. If something has to give… then CHOOSE LIFE.
