How to have a balanced life

balance life“THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF A COMPLETE LIFE” The Length of Life, as we shall use it, is not its duration, not its longevity. It is rather the push of a life forward to its personal ends and ambitions. It is the inward concern for one’s personal welfare. The Breadth of Life is the outward concern for the welfare of others. The Height of Life is the upward reach toward God. These are the three dimensions of life, and, without the due development of all, no life becomes complete. Life at its best is a great triangle. At one angle stands the individual person, at the other angle stands other persons, and at the tip top stands God. Unless these three are concatenated, working harmoniously together in a single life, that life is incomplete. (Draw a triangle: On top point write, Spirituality; on bottom left point, write loving others and right point, write loving yourself, this is what it means to have the proper balance of Love which centres the triangle) 
From sermon delivered at Dexter, January 24, Martin Luther King 1954
