The professional golf instructor Sandy LaBauve has a great way of balancing happiness with productivity.
Think of what is important to you as the four tires on a car.
It may be faith, exercise, family and work. Substitute your own priorities.
What drives you?
Then – and this is the part that will help keep life in balance when one of these “tires” needs inflating — you devote attention to the one that is going flat and pump it up.
That way you’re literally always in the driver’s seat in achieving all four of the things that make you happy and productive.
“Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals and values are in balance” – Brian Tracy
