Christmas Joy - Finding Peace and Balance in our Lives
|
|
|
|
|
Dave Allen President, AGRI-SEARCH
|
|
|
|
Christmas is a season of hope and peace that centers around the birth of the Christ child. For far too many people in today’s world, hope and peace are a pipe dream. Hectic schedules; family, financial, or health issues; or a variety of other factors can turn life upside
down. What can you do to help your team at work or someone whose life is hectic or hopeless this Christmas season? Challenge them to complete the "Wheel of Life", a personal exercise discussed elsewhere in this newsletter (see "Does Your ‘Wheel of Life’ Have a Flat Tire?") that can help bring focus and balance to one’s life. On behalf of the AGRI-SEARCH team, have a joyful, peaceful Christmas and a balanced and blessed 2019!

Does Your "Wheel of Life" Have a Flat Tire?
|
|
|
|
Around the holidays, we often take time to reflect on where we are in life. Our wheels often are spinning. Is our life balanced and heading in the right direction, or are we scattered and torn and not able to see much light at the end of the tunnel? For our lives to be successful overall we must address each "spoke" of the "Wheel of Life." Named by Zig Ziglar, the "Wheel
of Life" refers to the seven spokes that represent each area of our lives… career, family, financial, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual. If you do nothing in an area or two, you will have an unbalanced life or a "flat tire."
