Life is a Juggling Act

The challenges of balancing the various aspects of our lives is a never ending challenge, a game that is imperative that we always win.

So the art of juggling the different balls making up our own individual game of life is a skill that everyone must master and use every day.

As one business leader sees it -

I am pretty good at golf, billiards, darts and tennis where hand-eye coordination is important, but juggling the balls of life that is what it is important to excel at

Wow, what a speech! I have never, ever heard that philosophy from a business!

Right now, there are too many balls in the air at my house... I'm juggling as fast as I can.

Now, that was an impressive speech. He must be a believer in the ''Seven Generations''.

I like that. I've always heard it work, family and self. Let one of them suffer, then all of them suffer.

Thanks for the perspective

A good analogy

Seven Generations - the Role of Chief

"If you ask me what is the most important thing that I have learned about being a Haudenosaunee, it's the idea that we are connected to a community, but a community that transcends time.

We're connected to the first Indians who walked on this earth, the very first ones, however long ago that was. But we're also connected to those Indians who aren't even born yet, who are going to walk this earth. And our job in the middle is to bridge that gap. You take the inheritance from the past, you add to it, your ideas and your thinking, and you bundle it up and shoot it to the future. And there is a different kind of responsibility. That is not just about me, my pride and my ego, it's about all that other stuff. We inherit a duty, we inherit a responsibility. And that's pretty well drummed into our heads. Don't just come here expecting to benefit. You come here to work hard so that the future can enjoy that benefit."

Your welcome RIO. The world would be a better place if more people followed this teaching.

Thanks for the feedback and perspective

In my view, if you drop the balls of friends and family, those remaining have little value so why keep juggling? Just my opinion of course.

I once read an article about how people who were dying, looked back on their life, and not one of them said they wished they worked more.

I'll second that - my biggest regrets are hours with my boys that were lost to my "get it done" (the boss's words) attitude at work.
