Balance

It is my desire to give 110% in everything I do. I learned from my fabulous parents that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I understand that I should work hard and do my best because I am a reflection of Jesus Christ. I want to be the best wife for my husband, the best teacher for my students, the best helper in ministry, the best guard instructor for my girls, etc... But, the truth is that I find myself torn in so many different directions that I feel like I'm unsuccessful in all areas. I have been searching for balance in my life: for a way to be everything to everyone, make everyone happy and stay on top of things. All I have found, however, is that it's the people and things that do not scream for my attention that get left behind. The sad thing is that those are the people/things that matter the most. I don't want to give anything up because individually I love all of the activities in which I am involved, but I know that something has to happen. I have to find a better system because I refuse to neglect the things that matter for much longer.
