Being balanced and fulfilled is accomplished by handling things in moderation.

I know when to leave work at work.

I pursue everything in my life with passion; however, I keep myself from overdoing it. I know that too much focus in one area distracts me from other areas. I strive to maintain a balance so I can fulfill my desires in every aspect of my life.

I recognize that keeping everything in moderation brings good consequences. I can control my actions so I can enjoy these positive results every day.

Take eating, for example. I love food! I enjoy trying new foods and savoring the unique flavors. I also know that if I overeat, it interferes with my desires for a healthy, fit body. So I eat in moderation for fulfillment in both areas.

My passion for my work brings me many rewards. But I also recognize that leaving work behind at the end of each workday lets me pursue my passions in my personal life: hobbies, family, and leisure activities. So I work in moderation to allow time for all.

I thoroughly enjoy being with the love of my life! I also realize that saying ‘see you soon’ for part of the day builds anticipation when we meet again. Moderation keeps excitement in our relationship so our time together is even more fulfilling.

My time with my children is joyful. However, we give each other the freedom and support to pursue our own goals with focus and passion, knowing that fulfillment in every area makes our time together a whole lot more fun.

Today, my plan is to schedule time for work, family, and leisure activities, giving equal importance to each. This way I can thoroughly enjoy myself and end the day with a great feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I leave work behind at the end of my workday?
2. Am I giving equal importance to my leisure time each day?
3. Which area of my life could use more focus so I can regain balance?

My work is my means for living, and I complement it by actually living it.

I can build a firewall that filters out stress and helps me reclaim my success when I cooperate with the way my Creator made me.

I have let go of the idea that I need to be able to see my whole life at once. That’s simply impossible. But I know my talents and interests were put in me for a purpose: so that I can use them!

By taking the time to discover my talents and pursue my interests, I am working with my natural bent rather than trying to force myself to be something I was never intended to be.

I invest in my own dreams. Because I am here for a purpose, it only makes sense that I do whatever I need to do to fulfill that purpose. Undoubtedly that costs time, energy, and money, and I am open to that.

Once I have discovered my purpose, I give myself permission to pursue it wholeheartedly. I enjoy the journey. I am open and flexible to exploring different avenues as my interests grow and develop.

I resist the tendency to want to become a slave to my goals. Instead, I use them as a compass, remaining eager to fully explore and experience each step of my journey.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Am I allowing myself to be what I was created to be?
2. Do I have goals that I use to focus my plans and activities?
3. Do I serve my goals or do they serve me?
