Life As A Game

or Keeping Your Eye on the Ball

This ancient wall painting (c. 1994-1781 B.C) appears to depict jugglers. It was found in the 15th tomb of the Karyssa I area, Egypt. According to Dr. Bianchi, associate curator of the Brooklyn Museum "In tomb 15, the prince is looking on to things he enjoyed in life that he wishes to take to the next world. The fact that jugglers are represented in a tomb suggests religious significance." ... "round things were used to represent large solar objects, birth, and death." (Wikipedia)

The 30 Second Speech by Bryan Dyson Former CEO of Coca Cola "Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that  Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls Family, Health, Friends and Spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

Value has a Value only if its Value is Valued Successful Juggling is All About Timing A flowing, relaxed, AWARENESS Keep your eye on the ball. "Being completely in the flow of the moment  and knowing which priority must have your focus. Then reflexively responding and being there.". Peter Shimon
