ARE you failing to make progress in your life because of lack of effort in what you do? Is stress eating up your life because you neither have the time to rest or reflect in your life?
We live in a world where everything wants our attention. Our careers want our attention. Our jobs or businesses want our attention, too. And, so are our loved ones.
When faced with this kind of situation, it is easy to lose track and just live an unbalanced life, instead of living a really balanced life.
Whether we like it or not, a balanced life is important in our lives. As such, failure to live a balanced life leads to a boring, unfulfilled life.
Further, a balanced life helps us to cater for all areas of life, instead of concentrating only in certain areas of our lives, at the expense of others.
Luckily, a balanced life has a lot of benefits in store for those who endeavour to live it. Among them;
When you commit yourself to live a balanced life, you’re certain to make progress in what you do.
It is easy to live a healthy life. Because, a balanced life means all areas of your life are well. This wellness is sure to have a positive impact on your health, too.
Because, as one revered pastor questioned, “How can you be well sir/ madam when things in your life are not well?”
A person who lives a balanced life finds it easy to cultivate loving, healthy relationships, be it at work, church, at school or even at home.
In other words, a balanced type of life creates a ripple effect in all areas of your life, including relationships.
A man or woman who lives a balanced life is often a happy person. Nothing makes one feel better than knowing that all areas are covered, and well taken care of.
True success comes from having balance in all areas of your life. Success in only one area of your life is not success enough!
Only a balanced life can lead to fulfillment. For as long as some areas of your life are not kept in check, fulfillment will always elude you.
If you’re not willing to live a balanced life, the following happens;
Much as you will be able to make headways in some areas of your life, other areas will be ‘limping’, and therefore suffer.
An unbalanced life is a recipe for unhealthy relationships. Poor relationships will be the bitter price you’ll pay for living such a life.
Since relationships have a direct bearing on our happiness, a person whose life is not balanced is unlikely to be genuinely happy. Unless of course, if it is false happiness.
Your successes will be incomplete because, success is meant to be in all areas of life, and not just in one area or two.
You’ll be on the sure path to an unfulfilled life. A life which makes one to start thinking that perhaps they should have done better. It is a sad life, indeed, and a life you don’t want to live!
No wonder, American millionaire life coach and celebrated author, Tony Robbins said, “Without effort we make no progress, but without rest and reflection our lives can fall out of balance.”
