Balance
This semester is really turning out to be a challenging on, already. Trying to balance the workload and prioritize
things; I was reminded of something Mitt Romney stated a few weeks ago while
speaking at the BYU devotional in Provo, UT.
There was a Q & A portion and Mitt Romney was asked, “How have you balanced
family life and a very public life?” To
which he responded, “Balance is something I’m always asked about: work, family,
the church, community, how do you balance these? I once joked if you aren’t
fulfilling all the things you’d like to do in your family, and you’re not
really getting the job done at work, and you’re not fulfilling your church
callings like you want to, then things are in balance.”
The feeling of always having more to do or never being able
to get ahead is one I can relate to. I think
there is some truth in his reply. I know
that when I feel like I am on top of things at work that means other areas of
my life require some attention. If you
become too ultra-focused on a specific aspect of your life, you will loose
focus of the other things around you.
Balancing the challenges in life has no end; it is an ongoing process that helps refine us.
$100.00 Challenge Project Update:
This week I have spent a lot of time brainstorming on what I
should do for my $100.00 challenge. I
was really stumped as to what I could and felt that I really didn’t have many
options. I got to talking with my wife
the other night about the assignment and she was able to give a list of
options. I am actually getting a little
more excited about the project rather than dreading it, like I was before.
