Seeking Balance

Seek balance.
Balance emotions with reason.
Combine detachment with doing our part.
Balance giving and receiving.
Alternate work with play, business, and personal activities.
Balance tending to our spiritual needs with tending to our other needs.
Juggle responsibilities to others with responsibility to ourselves.
Balance caring about others with caring for ourselves.
Whenever possible, let's be good to others, but be good to ourselves.
Some of us have to make up for lost time.

Melody Beattie from "The Language of Letting Go"
