My Quest for Balance

In essence, management is control. To manage means to take control of, to handle, to administrate, to steer. We as busy women must make time for the most important and have time for the not so important. We also must know when to say no and when to say yes. Let me point out, not based on other people's thoughts and needs but our own.

I speak from total life experience when I say this. My life was geared towards "scurrying" to please whoever screamed the loudest. It's the Grace of God why I did not end up in a straight jacket living this way. I felt selfish if I delegated tasks or asked for help. I felt selfish if I had to let something fall between the cracks. Ladies, this is a horrible feeling that so many of us know too well. And don't let me have to say "No." to someone.

Prayer and meditation are vital to our focus, strenth, and peace but God gave us other people to physically help us succeed. Whether it's your family member, best friend, or new found networking friend, we are puzzle pieces that fit together for one magnificant picture! So.....delegate.
