Keep a balance in your life

KEEP A BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:36 NIV

Many people waste their life trying to gain materialistic wealth and then they waste it trying to recover their life.

Due to the frenzy and the eagerness in their daily life they get sick and neglect their mental and physical health; and though they have money, it cannot buy their health. They waste their money on doctors, medicines, lawyers and psychiatrists.

They told their family, “I don’t have time for you because I am working hard for a better future”; but when that future comes, divorce happens or their son falls into drugs and all that money in the world will not be able to recover their family.

They allow themselves to be driven by the stream of greed, materialism, comparison between others or the eagerness to reach the highest achievements and the desire to have more and more things without having a clear idea of what is enough.

Let’s remember that we are spirits that have a soul and that live in a body; we need to watch and balance these three areas.

We must balance and take care of these seven areas of our health: spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, relational, financial and professional health.

Do we want to be successful leaders in the spiritual, family, social and financial life? Then, we must have a balance.

 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Mark 8:36 NLT

Think about it:

What area do you feel like you haven’t taken care of?
What can you do to pay more attention to it?
