The importance of having a balanced lifestyle

by Brian on



Hi there. Today I will like to talk to you about hav­ing a bal­anced life. I think one of the keys to suc­cess is liv­ing life in a bal­anced way.

Some­times we may be peo­ple who have lots of dreams and big goals that we want to accom­plish in our lives and we spend lots of our times work­ing on achiev­ing these goals. The prob­lem that most peo­ple have when they go after their dreams is that they go after their dreams and they achieve it only to realise that it wasn’t worth it.

Now what do I mean by that? These peo­ple achieved their dreams and now it isn’t worth it? Some peo­ple climb up the lad­der of suc­cess only to realise that in their pur­suit of their goals they lost their health, or their mar­riage or their rela­tion­ship with their son/daughter in the process.…

Now that is a very sad thing. While we may have big goals and dreams we need to be care­ful how we go about achiev­ing those things. Imag­ine if you are a par­ent and you decide that you are gonna work hard to make lots of money so that your chil­dren can be taken care off for the rest of their lives.

Guess what hap­pens. You work very hard, in fact when the boss is telling you to get some rest, you refuse to do so cause you want to show him just how great a worker you are. You do this con­stantly every year for 5 years then your body begins to shut down on you because it has not had a rest for ages. You begin to suf­fer from seri­ous pains in your neck and across your body due to stress. You are now con­stantly hav­ing to see a doc­tor cause you don’t have the strength to work.

Do you see what is going on there. We need to be care­ful how we go after these dreams of ours.….Make sure that in your pur­suit of your dream, you do not lose the things that are most impor­tant to you and as one of my men­tors said — The things we have got­ten freely are really the most valu­able things we have and these are our minds, our health, our fam­ily, our friends etc.

So set great and mighty goals but remem­ber that you want to make sure that when you have achieved such goals you have not wasted your life on pur­su­ing some­thing that wasn’t worth it in the final run.

Learn to have a bal­anced life cause when there is a leak in one area of your life, it affects the other areas!!!
