Wisdom drops about life

"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 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." 

How?

 * Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

 * 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 past 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 to each together.

 * Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

 * Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time.

 * The quickest way to receive love is to give; 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, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

 * Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, 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.
