I remember when I first started my practice, over 30 years ago now, one middle aged fellow came in to see me.\u00a0 He had been a high school teacher all of his adult life and he had just resigned.\u00a0 Just like that, right out of the blue.\u00a0 And what did he do next?\u00a0 He put an ad in the local paper and advertised his services as a handy man.<\/p>\n

I just couldn\u2019t understand how he could have done such a thing.\u00a0 Give up a career as a well paid professional, with all the security that anyone could ever ask for, holidays all summer long, as well as Christmas and spring break?\u00a0 It was for those very things that many of my friends in university worked to become teachers.<\/p>\n

But for this particular man, the career stresses he endured were not worth the price he had to pay.\u00a0 The stress of his job was causing him to burn out.\u00a0 And that\u2019s why he took the actions he did.<\/p>\n

And when I look back on it, I say power to him.\u00a0 He remained a handy man until he finally retired from working.\u00a0 He gave up all the perks that went with the teaching job in order to live a more balanced life.<\/p>\n

That is in contrast to an uncle of mine who worked at the post office.\u00a0 All he ever did, whenever he came to visit, was complain about how he hated his job, how the supervisors were incompetent and\u00a0 ….\u00a0 But, he would say, wait until I retire!\u00a0 We have a great pension plan and then I\u2019ll be living high on the hog.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, he eventually did retired with his great pension and within a few years, he died.\u00a0 It makes you wonder doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Balanced living<\/a> is about knowing that your life has a purpose.\u00a0 It’s about being excited about what you’re doing.\u00a0 When you are on purpose, when you have a reason to be, life\u2019s challenges don\u2019t go away, but you are able to face them realizing that they are bringing forward from where you are now.\u00a0 It may not be the way you would like, but in the big scheme of things, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”l.\u00a0 Balanced living helps us deal with life\u2019s never ending stresses.<\/p>\n
