JD – The jerk store called, they are running out of you.

EB* – What’s the difference, you’re their all-time best seller.

MS – Politics is when people choose their words and actions based on how they want others to react rather than based on what they really think. – Patrick Lencioni

BAD – It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things. – Henry David Thoreau

JW – If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you will never get it done. – The Master – Bruce Lee

The quotes above from Thoreau and Bruce Lee remind me of one of the great balancing acts of life.

We must balance between lunging from desperate action to desperate action while making sure we don’t spend too much time thinking about a thing while nothing gets done.

We must act, with wisdom and thoughtfulness.

We must think and ponder, with action as the result.

Is there an area of your life where you are out of balance?

Too many impulsive decisions at the grocery store that ruin your diet and budget?

Too much planning and thinking about the perfect workout plan while your pants size grows?

Thinking really hard about the right thing to say to mend that broken heart/relationship while it slowly withers away?

Saying “yes” to every request for your time while missing the deadlines/objectives you have already set?

Life is a balance between thinking and acting. Look closely to see if you need more balance. And then take action to get it straightened out.

Make it a great weekend.
