A Wake-up Call for a Happy Balance

Almira Xenia A. Navarette-Cunado

Each moment of the day purposely happens because they must. Someone may have caused it or we deliberately willed it.  Either way, it is fine to know that we take each incident responsibly. However, as days pass, we become immersed into the gamut of tasks, in a limbo of quests for answers to our endless questions. Once they all bombard us, we are left with much less choices and we end up not choosing anything due to stress and frustrations.

How do we handle these situations? How do we maintain our grace under pressure? How do we strike the happy balance between  hitting the targets and keeping our sanity and our relationships? Issues that entail at home and in the workplace will always take many forms and shall come in varying degrees. Our personal barometer functions in the same manner and customizes in any given predicament. Moreover, these two are expected to blend well as they bring out the champions in each of us. The bottom line is the answers lie in our hands.

Odds are but part and parcel of our lives. We only have to start believing that we can change, beginning with our perspective. Like a new pair of eyeglasses, our disposition and perspective would make a lot of difference. Thus, if we don’t like something, change it; otherwise, change the way you think about it ( Mary Engelbreit). Beginning with ourselves, we shall begin  our journey towards a happy and balanced way of life. Hence, let us hold on and keep ourselves grounded because " when we long for life without difficulties, be reminded that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure"

(Peter Marshall.)
