My brother and sister in law with their family, who are stationed in Shanghai, are back in Singapore for their summer vacation. Before coming to Singapore, my brother called and asked if it is all right for him to bring the Nitendo Wii to Singapore so that his kids can play when they are bored and of course, I said Yes.

I have always been enjoying playing console games until my endeavor into my part time business where I felt that playing games was a waste of time because it will not help me to achieve my goals sooner. Therefore, it has been more than a couple of years that I had actually sat down and enjoy playing games.

When the Nitendo Wii was fixed up on Sunday, I had my first share of playing together with my wife and I felt really relaxed. It was really a nice feeling and ever since then, I decided to set aside about half an hour each weekday to play the Nitendo Wii to relax a little.

Sometimes, you cannot help but to admit that every thing happens for a reason.

I was invited to attend a Success Permission Seminar preview by Dr. Sundardas 2 days ago and Dr. Sundardas was talking about Childhood Programming. One of the questions was “I am often described as a serious person and I have difficulty enjoying life” and my answer to that question was Yes.

The missing permission for this statement was “The Permission To Be A Child” and guess what, I seem to have my real life issues of being too tensed and too serious, having imbalance in my life of focusing too much on work and not relaxing enough that may be causing me not to achieve my goals in life sooner.

Everything in life has to be balanced!

Now that I know what I am missing and with just setting aside half an hour each weekday to play the Nitendo Wii, I know I am heading in the right direction of having a great balance in my life.

What about you? Are you working too much without play or are you playing too much without work? Either one is bad because that means you are not having a balance in your life and when that happens, the one that is overly deprived will one day sabotaged you!

Starting doing something now before it is too late.

All the best!
