Working Towards a Balanced Meaningful Life

Can we really have it all? Can we maintain a healthy family relationship, a successful career, and a social life? “Life is a balancing act,” is a phrase often shared when we feel stressed or overwhelmed. We want to do it all, but sometimes that looks like a lack of sleep and, more importantly, a lack of fun.

So how do we find balance? How do we choose one thing over another if we do not want to give up anything? Well, that’s just it—we choose.

The choices we make dictate how we live our lives. If something isn’t going right, we may tend to blame our external environment. However, looking at our thoughts is the best way to discover why we seem out of balance. It is, after all, our lives.

Establishing our core values is a great way to discover what a priority is and what is not. We may then begin to see that having it all is attainable but will look very different from one person to another.

So what are your core values? What legacy would you like to leave behind? What life do you want to create or re-create for yourself and your family?
