“Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls– family, health, friends, integrity– are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
– Gary Keller, Entrepreneur and Author of ‘The One Thing’

The health ball is usually the one I see most ignored. But I guess it varies for us all. The integrity is an interesting one because to me that means being true to yourself, in all aspects of your life.
The reality is that when we give the 4 glass balls just a little more attention, the work ball benefits hugely. Because we’re in better harmony.
So here’s a challenge this week:
Pick one of the 4 glass balls this week and ask yourself this question…
What one thing can I do this week that will really improve it? Just one thing…
Then do it.
