Balance Everywhere
This is my version: Inner-peace, personal wellness, and peace of mind. You have to look and strive for a balance in your life. It’s easier said than done. We go through so many stages in our lives that it’s hard to keep up just with the changes we encounter let alone find a balance. For so many years, we are just followers and not decision makers. We are bound to our parents’ sense of direction and the society or the circle we live in. Our experiences are bound to the environment the surrounds us. This would have been much more limited, but our universe has vastly grown with access to the Internet, for good or for worse. There is a lot more to learn and a lot more to take in and a lot more to deal with now. Hopefully we are smarter too and can avoid the traps we encounter. Then we grow up and seek an education or train for a profession and end up getting into some kind of business with its daily challenges and routine repetitions. Soon we are on our own. We may even seek or find a partner in the mean time. It’s not always easy, but we have more control over our lives if we are fortunate. We should look for a balance and equilibrium in our life. Some can and some never will. Again it’s not easy, but we should at least try and look outside the box and remind ourselves of our options and choices. We may start a family and that’s even more complicated. It’s complicated, because we may lose ourselves to the task at hand. We should find a balance in work, play and family activities. Next to our childhood, these are the best years of our lives whether we realize it or not and we need to make time to cherish it.
What did you think? I’m not a philosopher! Did you think I was going to spell it out and tell you what’s up ahead? Luck is a big ingredient in all of this. You can call it fate if you want. I’m such a pessimist at times. Half the time I look at the glass half full. I’m always anxious that something unfortunate might happened and I may lose it all. I mean, you have to do your best and remain prepared. I don’t have all the answers. I hope you can also give me some advice too. Besides, I don’t think this is one size fits all kind of proposition. Just one free advice, start on your 401k, IRA, or whatever early.
I’m not going to suggest many links, since our needs and interests are different. You know what you need and what you’re looking for. Here is an interesting link, but remember: “Buyer Beware!”
