Life at times appears to be a constant struggle ,where we struggle to meet ends either at work or at home. We often hear the phrase to live a "balanced life". We aim and strive to perfectly balance the various aspects of our lives and in the quest keep experimenting throughout our lives,juggling through each day hoping for the best and praying for the same.
Remember those days of our childhood when each day we used to get up with a new zeal , a new purpose in life. But as we grow up surrounded by the pressures of life we forget to live those dreams and tread over them as if they never existed.We need to relive and rewrite those dreams and see if any of them are still close to our heart. We need to reconsider our priorities in life. Of course life,as we grow up brings forth new circumstances and new responsibilities, therefore we need to pause and re prioritise our goals and focus on what is important to us for our growth. We should not cease to grow and treat each day as a learning experience , a lesson taught to us by no other school than the greatest of all, the school of Life.
The pursuit of a living a balanced life exists within every human being some are able to achieve it and some struggle to achieve the same.There is no straight jacket formula to lead a balanced life but there are some broad parameters which can be laid down which, if followed will help us in finding that balance we want to attain in our lives.
Balance in our Personal life: For most of us when asked why we are ready to endure all the hardships in our lives reply that we do so to give happiness to our near and dear ones.Therefore it is important that we ensure that our relationships with people close to us are healthy. It may be relationship between the parent and the child, husband and the wife, between siblings but you must make effort to keep your personal life happy.
Balance in our Financial life: Many of the problems in our life stem for mismanagement of our financial life.It has been rightly said the "Money is a means and not an end in itself", so we should pursue to earn money but for that we should not lose out on every other aspect of life.It should be our aim to keep our financial life healthy if we aim at having a proper balance in or lives.
Balance in our Physical life: Being fit and taking care of our health is of paramount importance if we really need to attain a balance in our lives for we may achieve the best of comforts in our lives but if we do not have a healthy body we cannot reap the benefits of any other aspect of our lives. People who ignore to keep a balance in their physical life and do not give enough priority to it, at some at point of life realise their mistakes but at times it is only too late in the day to undo the wrongs of the past.
Balance in our Social life: It is often said that the man is known by the company that he keeps. Our environment around us help in shaping our future so it is extremely important that we choose who are our friends.A lot has been said about the selection of friends and with the burst of technology the barriers of geographical locations is a thing of the past. But we should learn to keep a balance and check on the freedom that has been unleashed for one incorrect choice can ruin our future.
Balance in our Spiritual life: This is to me it is one of the most important aspect of our lives which help us in enduring the various situations which we face in our day to day lives."The true aim of life is to find the divine's presence deep inside oneself and to surrender to it so that it takes the lead of the life, all the feelings and all the actions of the body"- the Mother.
We need to re-establish connection with our inner-self and understand what is important for our lives and what is that we need to achieve in our lives. Life is a learning curve where every experience, every relationship is an opportunity to explore the unexplored.A right understanding of the purpose of our lives will help us resolve lot of ongoing conflicts in our lives.
