Are Your Balls in Balance?
Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls — family, health, friends, integrity — are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.

but juggling five ball with one bouncing from the floor and the other four in normal formation is really, really tricky.
More tricky than five in the air.
And if it bounces away, you are likely to drop the other four when you try and recover it.
Trust a juggler to ruin an anology!
Very tricky indeed....
