A BALANCED LIFE
LIFE BALANCE CHART
|
Life Balance is a principle that we ought to base our lives around. Moderation in all things prevents obsessions, addictions, and other harmful emotions and behaviors. This website will be influenced by these various elements (Spiritual, Physical, Mental, etc.). At the center is God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. All other aspects of life revolve around this relationship.
My (life-goal book) "A Balanced Life" is based on Luke 2:52, and will encompass these four areas of life. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (NIV)
