Juggle Balls

Juggle Balls
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How?

* Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
* Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
* Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
* Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
* Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
* Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
* Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
* Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
* Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
* Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
*Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
* Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Only time

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

Would you prefer to take care of the house and have your spouse support you?

I can enumerate quite a few things that I would like to achieve in my life. Among them, it is raising my children, traveling around the world, being successful in my carrier. Who doesn’t aim those accomplishments?

 

 

Well, another great deal of planning would be marrying a billionaire. What would be part of my life? In this case, I’d live in a mansion and have more than a maid to take care of the house. Perhaps, I’d get a baby sitter to watch out my children. My husband would be the kind of man that we see in films: lovely, partner in a big company, very wealthy. I can get everything I want: from the best beauty saloon to the most expensive clothes. But are all these things worth? It depends on what I put more importance in. Would be perfect staying in a mansion and having everything for me? No, I don’t think so. Why not? I reckon I wouldn’t be fulfilled. Actually, I want to have my family and to find myself successful in my profession. If I accepted someone supporting me, I would feel incapable, not useful. Then, even if my husband were rich and he gave me the option to stay in home, I’d not take. On the other hand, if I married someone not rich, but who let me not work out, I wouldn’t stay at home taking care of the house. I am not much for household chores, although I would like to spend time with my children.
