Do You Have ONE Minute For Yourself ?





Do You Have ONE Minute For Yourself?
If not, what about your family and loved ones
Most of us are busier than ever. Our lives are full of things to do, places to go, people to meet.

All of this in the name of "getting ahead". But there comes a time when we need to question "is this really success"?

Ask most people what they're looking for, and chances are you'll hear things like: "inner peace, balance, a chance to relax, and an opportunity to smell the roses".

In short, the antithesis to the hectic lifestyle most people seem to be living. As author Stuart Wilde puts it, "life was never meant to be a struggle".

We need to form a new definition for success, one that includes more balance, more time to be with those we love, more time for play, and more time to nurture ourselves.

The paradox is that the reason most of us work long and hard is so we can relax, play, and have more time for our loved ones.

Yet the more time we spend working, the less time we have to enjoy the other aspects of our lives.

Certainly finances and your career are important, but not at the expense of your health, your inner peace, your family and enjoying your life.

It takes courage to let go of our old struggle habits and create ways to leverage ourselves and delegate many of our tasks.

It takes courage to re-examine our values and make our "self", our loved ones and our careers equal priorities.

It takes courage to take more time for yourself and maintain true equilibrium in your life.
