Talk Leadership of Self: Your Balancing Act is Driven by Who is Driving
the Bus
“Every morning you are handed twenty-four golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get f'ree of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn’t buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure? Remember, you must use it, as it is given only once. Once wasted you cannot get it back.” -- Author Unknown
We are a society constantly on the go at work, home and play. Technology of cell phones, Internet, emails and text messaging has added more stress and guilt to everyday living. Stress in attempting to be all things to all people. When in reality, each of you has your own uniqueness to develop, therefore, you can’t be all things to all people. Your uniqueness is like you being the first violin in the orchestra playing Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. Without the part of the first violin the symphony would be incomplete. When you are playing to someone else’s tune rather than playing the tune which resonates with your purpose, you are out of balance.
The guilt that technology implies arises when you are on call 24/7 to anyone that emails, text messages or calls with the sender expecting you to reply immediately with solutions, which can be anything from how to fix the plumbing to how to deal with improving the company’s bottom line by 50%.
Most of the time people get off balance from being reactive rather than proactive. The reactive person is the passenger on the bus, and the proactive person is driving the bus with the intention to getting to their specific destination. I agree that there are times to be a passenger. However, it is wiser to be a passenger when the driver is going in the direction I want to go. It also means that I am on purpose with my goals and become the driver of my bus within the paradigm of being both the driver and passenger. Get it?!
When you are stressed and feeling guilty, it is a good sign you are being a passenger on someone else’s bus. In working with my clients to achieve balance personally and professionally, we work on checking out what parts of the bus they are on that they like, what parts do they want to change, and where do they want to take the bus. From here new perspectives come to the surface which are motivating and inspiring. They then move forward enthusiastically to making plans and taking action to driving their bus with the wheels in balance.
Questions Have the Answers to Design Your Balancing Act:
- When are you not conscious of time pressure?
- What changes would you like to make on the bus you are on? By when?
- What if you are the driver of the bus, where are you going?
- What’s the purpose in getting there?
- What if your leadership vision were a piece of music, what would it be? Why?
- What areas of your life are so out of balance you feel like parts of you are missing, similar to the symphony metaphor mentioned above?
- What are you going to do about it?
Tips - Drive Your Bus with Balanced Wheels:
- Balance is
being vigilant to what’s important to you and knowing you are
always at choice, even when you are stuck in a ditch with your bus.
- If you don’t
have a vision of where you want to go, then any path will do. Choose
a path. Choose the path you are meant to be on.

- When you
are focusing on a professional goal, it may mean spending less time
taking care of household chores. Then it would be better to look at
options of perhaps hiring a handy person rather than feeling guilty
and stressed.
- Look to balance
your work without forsaking your personal relationships.

TM is offering programs designed to empower
people in transition and who are uncertain about what to do next. It is
called “Getting
On Your Track”. The nice thing
about this is it is a teleclass, which is interactive, informative and fun.
It is like
attending a workshop on the phone.
There are two tracks – six weeks each: Track One – "Getting
On Your Track" is designed for the client to get clarity on what’s
next and to understand self-imposed limitations. Track Two coaches and trains
the clients into implementing their chosen new direction. “Getting
On Your Track” classes are small, limited to 10 clients,
to insure each person gets maximum value.

"Led
By Faith" by Immaculée Ilibagiza
For
three months in the spring of 1994, the African nation of Rwanda
descended into one of the most vicious and bloody genocides
the world has ever seen. Immaculée Ilibagiza, a young
university student, miraculously survived the savage killing
spree that left most of her family, friends, and a million of
her fellow citizens dead.
Immaculée’s remarkable story of survival was documented
in her first book, "Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst
the Rwandan Holocaust."
In "Led By Faith", Immaculée takes us with
her as her remarkable journey continues. Through her simple
and eloquent voice, we experience her hardships and heartache
as she struggles to survive and to find meaning and purpose
in the aftermath of the holocaust.
With the same courage and faith in God that led her through
the darkness of genocide, Immaculée discovers a new life
that was beyondher wildest dreams as a small girl in a tiny
village in one of Africa’s poorest countries.
