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 and strive for balance in your life. How?

1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is
because we are different that each of us is special.

2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you
know what is best for you.

3. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to
them as you would life, for without them, life is meaningless.

4. Don't let your 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.

5. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is
really over until the moment you stop trying.

6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this
fragile thread that binds us to each other.

7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we
learn to be brave.

8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly and the best way
to keep love is to give it wings.

9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've
been, but, where you are going.

10. Don't forget a person's greatest emotional need is to feel
appreciated.

11. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you
can always carry easily.

12. 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.

 Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift.
That's why we call it "The Present."
