Keeping It Balanced

I absolutely loved the first part of the year. It’s such a refreshing time to reset, get refocused, and make new plans for the remainder of the year. I always do it with a very positive mindset because I know that attitude is everything, and good things happen to good people.

As I go through every day, I have to deal with a balance. There’s a balance of how much you do in all aspects of your life and what it takes to get the most out of every day, every situation, and every person that you come in contact with. Keeping it all balanced can be very difficult. It can be difficult because sometimes you want to move faster than other people are willing to move.

Sometimes, you have objects that are in your way that you need to figure out how to move. And other times, you can’t seem to get yourself to slow down enough to actually enjoy what all it is you’re doing.

It’s hard to keep a balance when you want everything to happen yesterday. It’s hard to keep a balance when you’re trying to get more out of people than they probably know they can give. It’s hard to keep a balance when every day you feel like you’re ready to play in the Super Bowl, and some people don’t even know there’s a game going on. But I think the art of keeping it balanced is when you can accomplish everything that you want to, get everything that you can out of those around you, and go home at the end of every day and feel accomplished in what you’ve done. It creates a very positive mindset, a very good life, and it just makes everything more fun.
