"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling 5 balls.
The balls are work, family, health, friends, and integrity.
And you're keeping them all in the air.
But one day you finally come to understand that
work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
The four other balls -
family, health, friends, integrity - are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life."

chapter 7
posted @ 15:33 by ryan in [ Heart on a sleeve ]
7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, 10 or a snake when he asks for a fish? 11 If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
~Book of Matthew
