I think a balanced life is based around simply doing what makes you joyful, and yet keeping up with our responsibilities. In fact, being joyful lets us go out and perform our responsibilities even better, and have more of ourselves to give to the world! ;) Great question Nneka!

Others might fall to the deepest part of it but others might survive and see the bright side. As pendulum swings, there is no guarantee that life will always be beautiful. There are chances that we might bump and collapse but what is important is that we know how to dance to the rhythm. Life without problems is dull, problems will make us strong in facing life’s challenges and this will help us to be a better and stronger person. And through this you’ll know where your life is heading to. In the midst of our journey, it is inevitable to see the dark side of life.

I can remember as a child loving to ride up and down with my friends. I also remember the thrill of standing in the middle, or the fulcrum, while kids rode up and down at the ends. It was often tricky to stay standing when one person decided to push hard off the ground. But it was possible to stay balanced if you didn't stray too far from the center. As I contemplate what a balanced life would look like to me, I think it would mean staying at neutral through life's ups and downs. Not getting too attached to the highs or to the lows. It is like living in the fulcrum AND enjoying the ride. LOL, Paula Hi Nneka,
