Balancing Life's Juggling Act: What Happens When Work Isn't the Only Ball in the Air?

'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 or one day 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. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.'

This speech is something that is a reality, a reality that we often forget in our busy lives while chasing work. However, this reality is like a rubber ball that will bounce back. I wish we could make this reality a part of our lives. :)
