Thursday is here😃, good riddance to everyone here
finding a balance is a continuous project in one's life, the scale of our life is mostly overweight with secondary priorities, it is not easy to find a balance for everything, i struggle with it everyday, mostly because everyday never goes the same way, there is always some chore or responsibility that interferes with one's daily plan.
to find a balance i always set goals for myself, supported with daily plans, for people like me who don't like mathematics i wonder how i have survived this long because life is always about calculations
lets put four important priorities in the wheel 🎡 of time, our life's wheel divided into four 🍀 parts and if we need it to move smoothly they must all be balanced on all sides, that's 25% for each side, lets do some calculations, my first four might not be your first four, this example or illustration is relative.
first wheel, family 25%
Giving your family 25% out of my 100% time daily is not an easy feat but in this aspect i would give myself 5% out of 100%, this is me being truthful, and nothing is bigger than family in all honesty, but i recognize that this aspect of my life is still suffering and i am working on rejuvenating it.
second wheel, religion 25%
Service to the God in your religion is very important, like i said this post is relative, everybody has a way of communicating with thier God, but nowadays even going to church on Sundays has become a bit of a challenge, sometimes i don't go for service in two weeks, this aspect is 10% for me out of 100%, i think i have already failed these first two important parts of life but lets see the remaining two sides.
third wheel, work 25%
I am what you call a workhaolic, i work day in day out this aspect of life is very important to me because i am a man, but (hustle no dey finish) hustling continues, i would give this part of the wheel its 25% without deducting anything.
fourth wheel, fun 25%
What is life without fun, life is supposed to be, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, after all, all work no play makes jack a stupid boy, what will it profit a man who works his head off only for another man to reap the rewards of his work, that's plain stupidity,
I would rate this aspect of my life moderately that's a solid 20%, i mean i ball anytime i can.
Lets do the math, joining the percentage i got from the four sides together equals = 60% out of 100%, well that's a pass but it doesn't make the wheel 🎡 run as smooth as it should be, for some people different things would be in this wheel apart from the above stated
Whatever fits into your wheel should help balance your life, you would ask me where the remaining 40% goes to, honestly I don't know, God help me to do better, amen.
Thanks for your time.
