DON'T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET

Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Life can bring changes. By having a variety of activities, interests, friendship groups- adjusting to change can be managed. If one area of our lives is suffering then we have other areas to keep us going. Our investment portfolio should include diverse funds. Our work-life balance should be diverse. Not depending on any one person or thing can help us to stay strong through rough times. Try not to be the strong one in all situations as there are times we all need support from others. But strong people can be the dumping ground for everyone else too. So if we have strong people in our lives remember to check in with them that they are doing fine. If you are the strong person, learn to step back and let someone else take the reigns if you are exhausted! So maybe not a basket of eggs, but a variety of fruit is good for a pleasurable afternoon!

DO YOU HEAR OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING?

When life gives opportunities, do you recognize them? Have there been times in your life that opportunity knocked and you did not answer the door? Were you sleeping? Not paying attention? It is difficult to take every opportunity that comes our way. Sometimes we are not ready! Sometimes there is too much on our plate. For example, a young Mom, just had a new baby and can not try to go for that management position due to the family commitments. Opportunity knocked at the wrong time. The good thing about life is that often other opportunities do come along.
