The Wheel of Balance: A Day in the Office

Writer: Claudette LyonsClaudette Lyons


Today, as I settled into my turquoise-colored desk, ready to tackle the day's tasks, an unexpected event took place: my office chair lost one of its five wheels. At first, I laughed it off, thinking it was just a minor inconvenience. However, as the day went on, I found myself reflecting on the broader implications of this small disruption.

With one wheel gone, my chair became wobbly and unstable. It was a constant reminder of how much we rely on balance in our daily lives. This simple yet profound metaphor began to take shape in my mind. Just as my chair lost its equilibrium, so too can our lives when we neglect to maintain balance.



When one aspect of our lives falters—be it work, relationships, health, or personal growth—everything else can be thrown off-kilter. The imbalance can take away from the many things we depend on, much like the missing wheel on my chair hindered my ability to work comfortably and efficiently.


Imagine working on balance as a core principle and making it the foundation of all we do. By prioritizing balance, we can ensure that each aspect of our lives is supported and nurtured. This holistic approach allows us to make more informed decisions, apply better discernment, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.


As I continued to work through the day, I found myself constantly adjusting to compensate for the missing wheel. It served as a reminder that balance is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing practice. We must continually strive to maintain equilibrium in all areas of our lives, learning to adapt and adjust as needed.


In the end, this seemingly minor inconvenience became a powerful lesson. It taught me the importance of balance and the impact it has on our overall well-being. As we navigate our daily lives, let us remember to keep balance at the center of our motivations, driving us towards better decision-making, discernment, and application in all that we do.
