Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them: work, family, health, friends, and spirit, and you're keeping all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a __41___ ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls---family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and __42___ for balance in your life.
How? Don't undermine your worth by ___43__ yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your __44___ by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. ___45__ to them as you would to life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are ___46__ perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's ___47__ to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too __48___; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't run __49___ life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
