life is a game - some tips

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them-? FAMILY / HEALTH? / FRIENDS AND / SPIRIT? .And you are keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If yo? 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 isspecial.

*
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 passt 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.

wings.

*
Yesterday is history.

*
Tomorrow is a mystery.
