As a coach I work to teach balance to my clients all the time. When we're truly in balance, we seem to have 'enough' of everything, especially time. And, like many coaches, it's so much easier for me to work with clients to find balance than it is for myself. And I regularly use a balance wheel with them--similar to the categories you mentioned, and this blog is the nudge I needed to use it for myself! Thanks Mary Eileen. Ah balance!

You drew the perfect picture for us to see how we need to find what is most important in our lives and prioritize. I am a big list maker and I sometimes feel like they are taking over my life. You've put balance into perspective, thanks. Eileen, Balance is so important in all of our lives.

Mile long to do lists that are more like wish lists, if I had unlimited time, what would I do? Better to make a much shorter list of the things we want to do most that are most likely to get us where we want to be. Balancing Act it is, but hey, we've had lots of practice.

It's so nice to get that fresh start. Eileen, No matter what age, I think this sounds like a great way to start out the new year, planning, setting goals and making it happen.

Your post truly highlights the stuff that makes us awesomely power. I appreciate the pie chart exercise as I revisit the various areas of my life and business.

I am a big Jack Canfield fan so I know his article is great. You're right about all of the sacrifices having been made--but you know what? I'm glad to have been blessed with a family to sacrifice for--a daughter who challenges me and a grandson to spoil and a husband to love beyond measure. Those are the good sacrifices of life--even through the many challenges dealing with them also bring. What a delightful, inspiring post to read at the beginning of the New Year.
