There should be a balance in life

Along time ago, there was an Emperor who told his
horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover
as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would
give him the area of land he has covered.


Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his
horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much
land area as he could. He kept on riding and
riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible.
When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because
he wanted to cover as much area as possible

Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area
and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked
himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so
much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a
very small area to bury myself."


The above story is similar with the journey of our
Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money,
to gain power and recognition. We neglect
our health , time with our family and to appreciate
the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.


One day when we look back, we will realize that we
don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn
back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or
recognition . Life is definitely not about work! Work
is only necessary to keep us living so as
to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a
balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
You have to decide how you want to balance
your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you
are able to compromise but always let some of your
decisions be based on your instincts.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the
whole aim of human existence.


So, take it easy, do what you want to do and
appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do
not take Life for granted. Live a balanced
lifestyle and enjoy life!
