Balanced Life?

I often get asked: "You have so much going on, home, friends, the hubs, businesses, and LinkedIn - how do you balance it all so well?

The truth is...I don't manage it all effortlessly and that's ok.

Balance takes a lot of work and with so much going on - some things have got to give. There is always somebody or something gaining or losing my attention and let's be honest - I have problems saying no.

I wake up EVERY MORNING with a plan and 95% of the time , my whole day takes a dramatic turn buy 10 am.

If you are reading this in hopes that I will somehow give you some inspiring step-by-step to juggle life's curveballs - nope.

But I will leave you with this:

- it's ok to not be perfect
- it's ok to help people
- it's ok to do what you love
- it's ok to make mistakes
- it's ok to fail
- it's ok to start again
- it's ok to put things aside for the ones you love
- it's ok to take personal time and space..... it's ok

"When you have balance in your life, work becomes an entirely different experience. There is a passion that moves you to a whole new level of fulfillment and gratitude, and that's when you can do your best... for yourself and for others."

WORK/LIFE balance is about perspective and mindset. There are no rules that fit everyone. You have to look introspectively. Review your priorities. What do you want to be front and center in your life? What is actually front and center in your life?

That will determine if you are being pulled along with the current of your life or if you are swimming in the direction you want your life to go in.

Small changes, consistently modified can pull you away from the current and put you back in charge of the direction of your life's ebbs and flows.

It comes down to making systems that you follow that bring about the results you want to live your best life.

Do you and do your best!
