I hope Y'All like it. - I did.

Five Balls
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air.
You name them… “Work”, “Family”, “Friends”, “Health”, & “Spirit”…
And you are 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 4 balls: “Family”, “Friends”, “Health”, & “Spirit” are all 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 to others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals too high by what others deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
But also don’t short sell yourself. Set goals that stretch you.
Don’t take for granted the people and things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past of for the future.
By living life only one day at a time, you FULLY live ALL the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you 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 and holds us together.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risk.
It is by taking chances that we grow and we learn 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 love.
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,
and 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!
