Imagine yourself in a canoe with another person.  The day is beautiful.  The two of you are floating along without a care in the world.  Suddenly, ripples of water start rocking the canoe and without proper balance, both of you, along with all your belongings, are thrown into the cold water. It is the same when you strive for success.  You have to find balance not only for yourself but also for others around you.  Balance means providing time away from work for pleasure, working extra hours when required, knowing when a new direction is required, etc.

Take time to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends.  As we enter in to a new year and begin making plans, remember to create a balanced plan.

Balance in your life between work and your personal life is very important. Without balance, you eventually burnout negatively affecting your performance at work. ~Byron & Catherine Pulsifer

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go
faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.~Brian Tracy
