Human Performance


I often times get frustrated with the uncertainties of life.  More importantly, I get frustrated when thinking about my life's purpose.  I try to discern where my life is supposed to lead based off of my passions---health, fitness, self-improvement, and helping others.  The lines between these passions are often blurred because they all are important.  They all are only pieces of a complete life.  They are only roles. 

We all play various roles in our lives. Often times we find ourselves out of balance because we exacerbate ourselves in only particular areas while others suffer.  We work long hours; therefore, we don't make time to go to the gym.  We throw ourselves into achieving a goal and we let personal relastionships suffer as a result.  We are always going-and-going like the Energizer bunny, and we don't make time for solidarity and serenity--time to for reflections and spiritual growth.  These are but a few examples. 

It is my belief that each area of your life is just as important as the next.  To be balanced is a concept that is discussed infrequently, but we set goals and resolutions for the areas of our lives we feel are lacking on an annual or some more frequent basis in search of something that we feel is out of our grasp. 

I too struggle with finding balance, but it is in my pursuit of balance that I hope to discover the ability---the blueprint---to help others do the same.  The ability to live this life completely, and fully without regret.  The confidence to know that when I reach the end of this journey, I would be content knowing that I became the person I was meant to be---that I lived out my purpose.
