Whenever a year ends, people like to have a balance of  good and bad things that have happened in their lives. I do not usually do that, but I think it is a great idea. So here we are, trying to brainstorm and become more analytical. The creation of this blog has been a great achievement.

First of all I think it is a good idea to identify the most important areas of our lives: personal life, which may include family, friends, health and professional life, which includes what you learn, what you achieve, where you are and where you want to be.

Although our lives are seeing as a whole, we should prioritize our internal self first.

One of the highlights of the year was that in August, my two sons and their wives (my daughters-in-law) came to and we had a family reunion. And.. the most important point was that they came with my three grandchildren!  But, on the negative side, on some of these moments I had to work and leave them on their own.

 In this sense, I am not satisfied with my performance. I think I tried to do too much in 2013, and then I neglected important areas of my life. Therefore, I need to redefine my goals for 2014. Definitely, I will pay more attention to my yoga practice and my meetings with friends.

Obviously, your personal life cannot be separated from your professional life.

Professionally speaking, I think I have achieved my goals for this year. Now I read more and I am more familiar with technology. For this second semester one of the highlights of the year has been the creation of this blog. I have enjoyed reading all your posts.

Now what about you, what is your balance?
