When our life is in balance We have peace We can think straight and feel happy Without balance there is anxiety And we are not free It takes work to get the balance right Don't be lazy or too busy Have balance in all things.

It takes a lot of work to live this well. We need to make time for reflection and prayer.

We need to examine our lives daily as pressures build up. We need to observe how we are spending our time.

There are always selfish people who try to put demands on our time too, so it's important to set boundaries.

Keep your life in balance and you will have peace.
