Achieving Balance in Your Life

On the Ed Sullivan show, there was a guest that would make frequent appearances. He was known as, “the plate spinner.” The gentleman would demonstrate that he could keep several plates spinning and balanced upon rods. When one plate would lose momentum he would rush over to it and spin it, and just as he would get it going again, another would lose momentum and begin to wobble. From plate to plate he would rush, giving them appropriate attention to keep their momentum and balance going against gravity.
Our life and its many dimensions can be likened to the plate spinner experience. There are seven different realms of life: physical, mental, family, social, vocational, spiritual, and financial. Whether we consciously know it or not, we are always striving to maintain balance and “momentum” within each realm. When one needs our attention, (starts to wobble) we rush over to it and give it the needed attention.
When you begin to consciously grasp each realm and focus upon creating balance and momentum in each, you can begin to more effortlessly spin and keep your plates going! At first it can be a lot of tough work, but the joy of it all is that the better you get, you begin to add sub-dimensions and create more responsibility for yourself. The challenge and game continues and evolves as you do!
