Personal Improvement:

It is clear to me that I am most satisfied when a balance of each of these are present:

• Accomplishing goals (work)
• Warm relationships/Being with friends
• Exercise/Sports (participating)
• Good food (reasonable portions)
• Music
• Quiet time
• Social events
• Learning
• Teaching others

Most of my life I have been a true work-alcholic which I can now see is an imbalance. I have seen others whose primary activity is eating. Others become exercise freaks at the expense of all else... bad balance. A perfect balance will never be achieved, but most of us will benefit from trying for it.

A good balance also widen your choice of friends. If music is your only activity, how can you make friends with sports enthusiasts?
