There are three things i realized over the 1st quarter of the year 2013.
1. There are only three days to live life: YESTERDAY, TODAY, and TOMORROW.
A balanced of being in the "now", small ounce of looking forward to a better future, and looking back at the past in a positive way are enough to survive life, enjoy it and live it to the fullest. It is easier said than done, but it is always worth trying.
When we live in the "moment", it is hard to notice that "missing" thing or that "problem in the past"... because now is not scary, or now is not stressful. NOW is enjoying the company of people around you, finishing THAT thing that creates passion in you OR that HOPE that everything will fall into place is in the NOW.

2. The values we uphold sets out priorities.
If we value relationships, then we'll always make time for our family and friends and significant other.
If we value loyalty and respect, then we will always act as if whatever we do to someone will have the possibility of happening to us as well.
If we value excellence, then we will not be satisfied with a mediocre's output.
If we value free will, then we will not impose or demand. A little assertiveness is alright.
If we value love, then we know that we do't have to long for it anymore. It is always there. From our family, friends, colleagues, even from strangers. They show care. They show love. And God is love. He is there.
If we value peace of mind and faith, then we know that no matter what, we will always come to Him.
I wanted to share this story i heard from a friend.
God knocks on my house. I let Him in, but I kept him in my guestroom. He stayed there. The devil knocks in. I don't want him inside my house, but he is powerful. He destroys my life. I long for help and I know one who can reverse it and sustain balance--God. But He is inside the guest room. And being the 'guest', He didn't have any right to mingle in that life.
Let us make Him part of our life, not only the guest.
3. Lastly, a balanced life is not a balanced life, even if you claim it to be if you don't live it. Be women and men of integrity and serenity.
