You are juggling 5 balls all of the time. There is only 1 you can drop without serious consequences…



Going into the weekend, I reflect on this quote by Brian Dyson (former Coca-Cola CEO):

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some 5 balls in the air.
You name them
– Work
– Family
– Health
– Friends
– Spirit

And you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball.

If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass.

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

They will never be the same.

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.”

Have a great weekend!
