To Be a Person

Each of us a MIXTURE of our identities and activities.

Like baking a cake, we must choose our ingredients wisely.

Just as we sifted out the negative emotions to bake the new you, we now must sift the parts of our world that don't fit our future.

Be careful. Some activities, don't appear important, but are very important.

As a Tai Chi Master, I have taught thousands of students and heard thousands of excuses about how hard it is to find time to practice their Tai Chi.

The different aspects of your life that blend together to create your life must be IN BALANCE.

No matter how much money you want to make, you need to stop working, eat, bathe, and play.

Exercise may not make you any money, but if you get all your millions of dollars but you are not healthy enough to enjoy it -- you get my point.

What is a WELL BALANCED LIFE?
