Proactive Balance - 3 Keys To Supercharging Your Life NOW!Proactive Balance - 3 Keys To Supercharging Your Life NOW!By Randy Gilbert (c)2001 "Balance can unleash amazing power in your life." Let me tell you a fun little story to explain what I mean. I took an auto-shop class in high school and the instructor split us into groups to completely disassemble and then reassemble car engines. Some of us learn the hard way. In reassembling our engine, my group had somehow gotten two spark plug wires out of order. Normally that powerful 8-cylinder (V-8) engine could take a car from zero to sixty in seconds. But when it fired out of balance, it clacked and sputtered and had no more power than a one-cylinder lawnmower engine. Another group had a similar problem. Their engine's gas and air mixture was not adjusted correctly and it spewed ugly smoke and seemed to cough in frustration. That 6-cylinder Chevy engine could barely keep itself running. In both cases, the instructor showed us how to diagnose and fix the problems, and once corrected, our engines roared to life. By being balanced, they broke through some kind of invisible barrier and were supercharged with power. It was a vivid lesson that applies to life! Frustration comes to us when our thinking and actions are out of balance. We cough and sputter our excuses and lose our enthusiasm. No matter how hard we try, we are powerless against adversities and can barely keep ourselves going. To overcome this kind of frustration we need proactive balance, and here are the three keys to acquiring it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Key #1. Set Your Priorities To Achieve Balance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just as important as spark plug timing, your priorities need to be balanced. Out of order priorities make us say the four costliest words, "I haven't got time." Here are some examples of how costly they can be. When you miss pleasure time with your family, you not only pass up a chance to relax, but you may cause disappointment to those you love. When you ignore your body's need for sleep or exercise, you not only increase chances of getting ill, but you might cause mistakes in critical decisions. When you fail to correct a small error in business, you not only lose efficiency, but you can trigger dissatisfaction in your customers and employees. Everything in life works together when your priorities are balanced. Your personal success improves your family life, which affects you physically, which affects you mentally, which affects you emotionally, which affects you spiritually. All of these things together serve to improve your happiness, which affects you financially, which turns full circle to improve your personal success, and so it continues in a synergistic way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Key #2 - Set Goals To Achieve The Right Lifestyle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An engine roars to life when it gets the right amount of air. We humans need air too, but the kind of air we need is more than oxygen. When we were created, God "breathed life" into us. People are complex creatures with emotional and spiritual needs. You will feel like you are "living" when your emotional and spiritual needs are satisfied. You get more living out of life when you are moving toward goals that create the "lifestyle" you desire for yourself and your family. Therefore, abundant life is found in doing - not merely possessing. Money cannot buy happiness, but when you use money to create the right lifestyle, you will satisfy your inner needs and have the power to create additional wealth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Key #3 - Get Into Your High-Energy Zone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An engine needs fuel in proper amounts to achieve its rated horsepower, and so do you. A proper diet of food is important to maintain a high level of energy, but "man does not live by bread alone." People need a proper diet of creative ideas and positive attitudes. Here's a quick illustration. Have you ever observed the energy difference between a winning and losing team? It's almost infinitely different. Yet both teams played for the same length of time, gave the same effort, and had the same number of players. The high-energy advantage is in the attitude at the end when a player says, "I am a winner!" Therefore, adjust your life to be in the high-energy zone by saturating your mind with creative thoughts and positive attitudes. They will give you that "I am a winner" feeling. To summarize, when your priorities are balanced, when you are working toward goals that achieve the right lifestyle, and when you are getting the proper diet of food and positive attitudes, you will dramatically increase your power to live a happy and abundant life. Proactive Balance will SUPERCHARGE your life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Randy Gilbert, a.k.a.

Here is where it all begins. It cannot be otherwise. Here we have come to listen, we have come to hear. An old woman sat here yesterday on a park bench, a brown bag at her side, her eyes sparkling as children frolicked on a carousel. "Nice day," I said. "You're right," she said, and smiled. We built a bridge and sat there silently. And a policeman came, took the brown bag,. . .
