The Pursuit of a Balanced Life

Everyone wants it...Only a few will get it!

The password to a balanced life is GOALS. Goals help us give meaning and directions to our lives. They help us ensure that we live by purpose and not by chance or accident.

When all the different aspects of our lives are in harmony, we are
able to remain composed no matter what challenges are thrown at us. When we start to set goals we begin to tap into our intrinsic needs; which in turn, leads us to self determination fulfillment of our most significant desires. For most of us, setting targetted goals does not come easy. We are accustomed to live on a 'day to day' or a 'come what may' basis.

Therefore, we tend to set goals that are difficult to achieve, mainly because we forget about the work that comes with achieving those goals. In order to achieve our goals and obtain the balanced life we desire, we must be consistently disciplined. We must forget about the masses and be willing to make a lot of self-sacrifices—no more instant gratifications—that will come later.

What is Balance?

Balance is the state of equilibrium necessary for a stable, harmonious and satisfying life.
