Balance

I have a quote in the family room by President Gordon B. Hinckley " Life is meant to be enjoyed not just endured"  Just for anyone that reads this blogs information, President Hinckley is a genius.  His wisdom is truly amazing.  Anyway, I had a good visit with my boss about balance of family, religion, work etc... If you are not engaged in all aspects of your life, things slip through the cracks.  We were put on this earth to learn, live, love, enjoy, grow, explore, yet we spend so much time just enduring everything.  Getting through the day, just getting this project finished, waiting for the kids to grow up so we can do whatever.  Where did the idea come that our existence here on this earth was to just get to the next day? Why aren't we doing our best to enjoy each experience good or bad? Why do we tend to focus all of our energies on one or two aspects and let others go by the side? Looks like I have a few things to contemplate.
