Today (April 18th) is International Jugglers Day, a day that celebrates the skill of juggling, and those talented people who can juggle many balls and objects at a time.
You might night consider yourself a professional “juggler” but my guess is, if you’re a spouse or partner, parent or friend, have a job, career, or are working on education of any sort, that you too are a juggler.
Call it multi-tasking, or task-switching, or just call it being busy as hell, we all have those days where there just seems to be a lot going on.
“You need not feel guilty about not being able to keep your life perfectly balanced. Juggling everything is too difficult. All you really need to do is catch it before it hits the floor.”
~ Carol Bartz
It doesn’t matter how many things you’re juggling, just stay focused on what you have in the air at all times and hold on tight to the things as they pass through your moving hands.
Catch. Release. Catch again.
This week you could choose to juggle chainsaws, flaming torches, or machetes…or you could do what I’m planning to do and that’s juggle building relationships, solving problems, and having fun.
