Is life only about working hard and being successful? Is there something else to it?

Most important: As you move through life always remember:

Life is about balance…

Think of life as a a wheel. A very big wheel. The more perfect the balance the more smooth the ride. Strive for equal parts of these elements, starting with:

1. Planning
2. Doing
3. Evaluating
4. Vegetating
5. Recreating

Of coarse, each of these elements can and will be, in many cases, done simultaneously but as long as the balance is maintained your “wheel of life” can move forward in a very satisfying way.

The more you love each element the more they will “blend”. ie; If you Plan correctly you will love the Doing even more, perhaps each will become a part of your Recreating.

And while Vegetating you will often find you are also Planning, Evaluating and Recreating… which makes Planning and Doing even more productive (and fun)

And so on.

Cut down on any or several of the elements and you end up with a “flat tire” that can slow you down, create friction and even chaos. When that happens, slow down and re-commit to balance and life moves on again as it should.

Lubricate your wheel of life with big dreams, a love of all things and a healthy concern for others and each day, week, month can be a wonderful ride.

If Life gets bumpy. Always check “your balance” first.
