"The indication of balance in life is a sense of well-being, optimism and
a clear conscience. The foundation for achieving this is to look after
myself spiritually - making my mind peaceful, loving and thoughtful at
all times. Then I will instinctively know how much time to spend on my
own well-being and how much on fulfilling other responsibilities. I can
only give my best to others when I am myself at my best." ~Thought for Today-UK
