You’re juggling five balls..

Earlier this evening my friend Mazarine told me a quote I really liked, that she heard from her business mentor:

Imagine that you’re juggling five balls.  This is your life.  The first ball is family, the second one is friends, the third one is integrity.  The fourth ball is your job, and the fifth ball is money.

The first three balls are made of glass.  If you drop them, they’ll shatter.  The last two, you can drop them and they’ll bounce back.  Don’t worry about them, the first three are what matter.

I really like this quote, and I’m grateful to Mazarine and her business mentor for sharing.  (I looked it up when I got back to my computer, and it looks like a modified version of a James Patterson quote, though I prefer this one to the original.)

It’s also just what I needed to hear today, too.  I’ve been discouraged this weekend about the way some of my custom programming projects have been going, and hearing this reminded me, these problems are temporary.  They’ll pass.  And I have a bit more optimism and hope again.
