LIFE'S THREE-LEGGED STOOL

A well-balanced life is like a three-legged stool.
You need WORK that you believe in;
SOMETHING to look forward to;
And SOMEONE to share with at a deep emotional level.

If you have all three legs going in your life, you are in good balance and well-integrated. With two legs you can make it, though you have to sit on the stool cautiously. If you sit on the stool with great concentration and determination,you can even survive with one leg. But if all three legs are missing or greatly impaired? Your bottom is on the ground!

People who seek therapy often need help in one of these three areas. If your life isn't working to suit you, take a look at your three-legged stool. Do you believe in your WORK? What are you LOOKING FORWARD TO? Do you have SOMEONE to share with at a deep level?
