#613: A Balancing Act

Have you ever played Jenga, the block-stacking game?It’s fun taking turns stacking blocks and watching the tower grow tall. But eventually, the tower becomes unbalanced, and the blocks come tumbling down.As a parent, don’t allow yourself to become unbalanced in life. As you go about your daily routines, avoid stacking too many obligations in your life. The higher your number of commitments, the greater the risk of wearing yourself out and failing to fulfill your most important responsibilities. Finding that balance between work and family life can be really hard. The key, though, is determining your priorities and then pursuing only those activities that contribute toward your overall goals.But remember, you’ll never go wrong by investing time and attention in your kids.
