Sacrifice to Gain Balance?

A home, a career, a family, a husband, friends and children...they are all things I expected to have in my adult life but as a child little did I know how much I would have to sacrifice to make those expectations a reality. I've blogged about balance before, see Every New Experience but every week seems to bring a new challenge.

You sacrifice time spent with your family and friends to build the career you always sought. You sacrifice a pay cheque to make up for lost time with those friends and family. You sacrifice space and social time to save up for that down payment for that first house. It's all a necessary learning curve but the more I experience this sacrifice the more motivated I become to find that balance in life. 

Enter Dale Stevenson's EdgeWalking Workshop. I am super excited to attend this event on Jan. 18th. When Dale did a mini version of this at the Women in Social Business Forum, participants were cheering each other on. I was amazed how much everyone was getting out of it and the excitement they were exhibiting from trying to gain balance. This New Year's Resolution is going to get done!

It's so interesting how one realization leads to piecing together your life vision. Be aware of what is happening in your environment, embrace the chaos, make necessary sacrifices and create the life you expected. And come to the Workshop!
