Balancing life is like juggling
- From Ben Bergeron’s podcast “Chasing Excellence” - Episode #048 “What it means to be productive” (16:20 mark)
.
Every role in your life is represented by a ball:
⚪️ Faith - glass
⚪️ Family - glass
⚪️ Health - glass
⚪️ Friendships - glass
🔴 Career - rubber
.
Bergeron states:
“The goal is to juggle all five of those balls in the air at once. You realize that all those balls are made of glass, and if you drop one of them it might may be scuffed, chipped, cracked, it might be shattered. You can’t let any of those drop.”

“Except potentially the one called ‘career’ because that one is made of rubber.”
.
“There is the potential that you can’t put those glass ones back together.
But the career one:
- if you lose your job
- if you have a career shift - if your business gets sold
You can land on your feet. You can figure it out.”
