The Balancing Act: The Stepping Stone to Your Happiness
()
About this ebook
As we take one step into tomorrow we are often forced to face challenges we are not always prepared for that can leave us afraid of change; afraid of the unknown and consequently afraid of ourselves. It is often said that most of us do not fear our failures, we fear our success and so do anything possible to avoid the one thing that we so desperately yearn.
We all want to be happy, we all want to be fulfilled and yet we find ourselves putting conditions on the very things that are readily available to us. We convince ourselves believing that the status quo is as good as it gets and we feel selfish to want something more.
The Balancing Act is a book of articles compiled to help every person for almost every situation. Between all the responsibilities we face with all the roles we take on it can be a Balancing Act to find something that works for us, whether it is a shortage of time or limited resources, or even the ability to believe that at the end of the day we deserve to be happy.
There are no quick fixes to anything. The only quick fix is to make the decision that you deserve to be happy and you deserve the best life has to offer, simply because you are you.
The Balancing Act is a stepping stone to assist you to move towards whatever your heart desires and whatever it is that gets you up in the morning and know it is going to be a good day!

The Meaning of the Cover – The Cherry Blossom
The Japanese cherry blossom is a very delicate flower that blooms for a very short time. This represents the transience of life. The Japanese have long held strong to the Buddhist belief of the transitory nature of life and it is very noble to not get too attached to a particular outcome or not become emotional because it will all pass in time.
The Chinese cherry blossom is a very significant symbol of power. Typically it represents a feminine beauty and often holds an idea of power or feminine dominance. Within the language of herbal lore, the Chinese cherry blossom is often the symbol of love.

INTRODUCTION
There are so many self-help books out there and many of them I have read. Self-help is exactly that and what suits one person will not suit another.
Is this a self help book? If it helps you make a positive difference on some level, then perhaps it is.
We fundamentally have the same issues and struggles yet the way we deal with what is thrown at us is unique within each of us. So, rather than generalize I have put together some articles to help you move from a place of being stuck or confused to a place where possibilities are only as limited as you want them to be.
In doing so, allow this knowledge to empower you to bring out the best in you.
