Balance the 'IMBALANCE'

Balance the 'IMBALANCE'

For the longest time, these were the very pillars where our lives revolved around, namely FAMILY, HEALTH, WORK, SPIRIT and FRIENDS.  Even within those very pillars, a good number of lives went into shambles simply because they were unable to find the 'right equilibrium' across these pillars.  Balancing two forces was, by itself tricky.  And obviously, how can we come to terms with five forces that were often items running counter against each other, causing cacophony in our life.

Indeed, juggling between those five pillars required one to be deftly doing a balancing act effectively everyday, if not every hour.  Alas, some of us manage to cruise along with minimal effort, with challenges hardly visible on the surface and which on the periphery, such lives looked too good to be true.  But there were success stories told and untold.  It's for us to emulate though.

Instead of simplifying a complex situations, things just became murkier the past two to three decades with technology lording it over across the wide space.  And guess who was the uninvited guess in this technology roadshow ?  Yes, social media no less.  Social media was not just everywhere.  In many cases I can attest to, social media has even taking over many of the lives we see around.  People lost track of time.  They were just totally helpless managing their time.  Priorities ?  Oh well, people learned that today's top priorities are posting to FB, IG and/or Twitter.  And tracking your followers, comments and all the 'LIKES'.

To accentuate that imbalances needed to be corrected fast, quick and pronto, imagine yourself wearing unique shoes that were just 'unpairable'.  Won't you end up as the 'odd man out' ?  Won't you cause heads to turn ?  Absolutely.

Whatever keeps you busy in life these days, you gotta 'balance the imbalance'. Pursuing  'balance the imbalance' is a given.  It's just moot and academic to argue and debate on this.  Balancing your time allocation and balancing your priorities should easily gobble up the biggest chunk of your life.  Turning a blind eye to 'balance the imbalance' will lead you to that downward path, down south.  And worse, there could be no turning back.

Anyone giving up to 'balance the imbalance' ?  Please don't.  Any slightest clue that you're in that 'southward' direction, pull the brakes, ground to a halt, take an urgent pulse check and stomp yourself with this frank question:  are you IN or are you OUT? Are you giving up things, losing by default ?  Or will you realize that turning things around is the only NEXT STEP but again, all these will kick off with your very FIRST STEP to turn things around.  If you need to shed off a bit of your unduly excessive time with friends for your family's sake, JUST DO IT pronto else any imbalance will just throw you off track. C'mon.✅
