Via Eric Melin, “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….” I am not sure about the part where things bounce back, because they do not always, but I am sure about the bouncing part. We all have to keep alot of things in the air at one time. I am not one for balance. I think we need to figure out how to merge all the balls, personal and professional into one big ball to live one complete and fulfilling life.

Bryan, that is a very interesting perspective you have mentioned. People on the whole are not good at balancing the five (or more) “balls” in their lives. Most people work full-time, have family at home wondering when they can spend some quality time together, and some even throw school into the picture (like myself). I do not have children and I still find it hard to start the internet business I have been dreaming about for years. I envy those who have children and make time for this. Finding that balance is hard. I finally found a way to get it started. I am currently enrolled in the James Brausch internship where I am learning everything I need to know about starting my own internet business. I only have to commit to 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. That is convenient for me. You do not have to answer to anyone, you do the tasks he sends to you and you send them back. The amount of information you learn is vital to getting started on your own. His motto is Traffic + Copywriting+ Product= Successful Internet Business. He informs you the best ways to get all three factors into your equation. His website is http://www.jamesbrausch.com It will benefit you and your internet business if you visit the site and learn how he got rich. I like your blogs Bryan, I will have to keep up on them.
the 30 sec speech is false and misleading.
it is only meant for those who want to be deluded, those trying to clutch at stralls…in the hope of find a truth that would bail them out of what they percive to be a mess…
FACT: if work was so bad, Obama would be smiling, right now he is having sleepless nights thinking of how he can create MORE work/jobs.
FACT: how many of you can STOP work and move in with your SIX human family to your dad’s, brothers or sisters place, and annouce that your there to stay – forever! get real!
FACT: you stop work, you have no money, you have no money, you have no food, you have no food your HEALTH goes down! no? YES! and you know i am RIGHT!
FACT: no work, your friends run away! … and you know thats true!
FACT: no work and your family will HATE you, ask ANY social worker.
FACT: you dont have to be WITH or WITHOUT work to handle your SPIRIT. Read the Bible if you want to know more.
To think that life is made of just five things is to simplify things to the unrealistic level of a tom & jerry cartoon.
I can give you a far shorter speech made of just one verb that has more truth than you have most likey NOT thought of. And I am not the author of it – it is Jesus. My one verb speech is: “LOVE!”.
Do that and you will get your priorities right. My wife is jobless for a long time and WHO among my so-called relative/friends ARE HELPING!. Get real!.
If you think work is nothing and your right, please email me so that you can my bank details and send me US $ 100.00. Once I receive it, I will send it (the US $ 100.00 ) BACK to you AND retract my statement – except for my speech – (because I am not its author.)
One thing you should KNOW is that you cannot curse ANYONE if the TRUTH is on THEIR side. It just comes back at you. READ THE BIBLE!.
