In today's busy world, everyone will be multitasking in various roles in life. We are children to our parents, parents to our children. Husband and wife, leaders and workers all at the same time. In the limited time of 24 hours given to us, how do we balance our roles and responsibilities. What would be the things we sacrifice as we have neglected them as we have given them a lower priorities?

First item that comes to my mind is our body, as we work hard to fulfill every role and responsibilities. We neglected our body by forcing it to go overtime without allowing it ample rest. By the time our body protest and fall sick, we regret it.

Another group of people we neglected as we proceed with our daily lives is our parents. The ones who gave unconditionally, we often make the mistakes of caring much more about our own children, our spouse, our career that our parents needs were simply answered by our allowances given to them. Is that what they really wanted? More often than not, our presence and our time is what they yearn the most and they certainly deserve our time. A precious asset of ours.

Let's stop neglecting our bodies and our parents starting from today.
