Everyone likes a juggler. They manage to keep more on the go than anyone else, and they seem to do so effortlessly. Although their acts are full of dynamism and pizazz, their faces look serene, their attention focused, and their actions controlled.
This article will help you develop your life as if it were a juggling act. It will inspire you to take on complications and handle them like this clown.
Of course, learning to juggle is not an overnight activity. It takes patience and dedication. Similarly, complications in your life are best built up little and often. Nevertheless, if you keep it up, you will eventually develop the kind of complicated life that really will make people wonder.
1. Keep everyone happy
Jugglers are crowd-pleasers. It is what gives them purpose, applause and helps them earn their keep. So, why not be a crowd-pleaser too? Make it your job to keep everyone around you entertained and happy. It really is the perfect way to win their approval, increase your income and gain a sense of self-worth.
2. Take on more commitments
Commitments get rid of boredom, they make other people happy, and they make sure you never have time to take stock. If you don’t have time to think about your life, you’ll never have to make time to fix it! So go on, kick-up another commitment (or accept one thrown from the audience) and add it to the mix today!
3. Avoid synergies!
Anything new you pick up should have as little in common with the things you’re already working on. Take three balls. Juggle. Add a chair, a hammer and a small cat! Entertaining, or what?
4. Speed up
If you can’t do it well, at least do it fast. Even if you drop an occasional clanger, at least you’ll have be able to pick up the mess in all that time that you’ll be saving!
5. Multi-task
Learn to incorporate distractions into your daily routines. They can all add challenges to life, and can be the opportunity for humor too. Ever mis-typed something because you’re listening to something else? Think of all the opportunities for comedy!
6. Develop your patter
-
Create anticipation: start by promising something spectacular but impossible.
-
Cover up for a drop: you need some ready-made excuses.
-
Make them laugh: everyone loves a clown. You can be theirs!
7. Push your limits
Jugglers add fire, knives, or even chainsaws. Do the same with your life! You could start embezzling company funds, take on a second wife, or even own a puppy!
Push the limits and add a sense of fullness to your life!
Final thoughts
As we have seen, through careful management, your very life could become a juggling act: very entertainging to watch, full of frantic movement, but ultimately going nowhere.
