Balance Your Wheel of Life...
Here’s a bit of a weird one. We were talking about the wheel of life
the other day and how, if one part of your cirlce becomes damaged,
neglected or just forgotten about then your ride in life can become
unstable.
I can almost hear you saying “What on earth is this idiot going on
about now?”. Well, I’ll explain. There are many parts of our life
which make us what we are. Family, friends, work, rest, recreation,
love, health, the list goes on depending on our personal circumstances.
When each one works in harmony, life is good, the wheel
turns smoothly and we sit in our perfect world. If only...
We can do the same in our own wheel of life. Obviously banging a
wheel weight to your head is not the answer but repairing the part
which is out of balance will ensure your ride is smooth even though
the wheel is not perfect. If I can explain with a practical example,
recently I have had a few health issues which have knocked me off
my normal track, ignoring the problem meant my work, sleep, family
life were all affected but after a visit to the doctor where he
banged on my virtual balance weight in the form of some medication
and further investigations gave me peace of mind to get things
back into balance. Yes, things are not perfect but I’ve balanced out
my imperfect wheel so things are a little more smooth.
Take a look at the Wheel of Life on the left, and score yourself honestly
between 1 - 10 per section. Draw a line across the section
with the outer line being 10 and the centre of the circle being 0 and
then take a look at where you need to add a balance weight to
smooth off your own personal life ride. If you have trouble finding
your balance weights, why not take a look at the spiritual wheel
above. Plenty of guidance can be found here. As I’ve said before
this is just my own personal way of making sense of these things.
I do hope that these passages make as much sense to you as they
do to me. Have faith in yourselves, God bless until next month.
Our lives are rarely perfect. In fact I can put my hand on my heart
and say I don’t know anyone that has a perfect life. But that doesn’t
mean to say we can’t balance our lives to make it the best as possible.
When you take your car in to service, the mechanics will balance
your wheels. They spin, what looks like a perfectly round wheel, on
a machine that shows where it is off balance. The mechanic will
then rectify it by banging a weight on to the wheel to get the perfect
balance and return the road drive to a smooth experience.
