Balance: Positioning Yourself to Do All Things Well

Literally what I plan on buying my friends for gifts and Bdays moving forward. Each chapter I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to my truest self. It makes me look inward and gives permission to ask "Is this enough"; "Do I need to love me more"; "how to I love myself"; am I giving too much to others and neglecting myself. All this time I thought if I could just manage my time better (still need to do that)... But the truth it its me, I need to focus time on me so I can focus on life when and in the many ways life needs me. LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! THANKS PASTOR TOURE (PT).

Imagine learning to tap into the awareness, sensitivity, and highest thought patterns that enable the most successful outcomes in life, love, and business. What would your life look like if you were able to break the patterns of inconsistency that keep you from your absolute best? Could it be possible to identify and regularly access the highest version of yourself, leaving behind past hit-or-miss cycles and instead starting to win in every key area of your life?These goals are not only possible--they are what you were made for!In Balance, bestselling author Touré Roberts guides us on the eye-opening journey that unpacks the divine formula that makes this a reality.This illuminating guide brings a unique and eye-opening perspective to the evasive concept of balance. Transcending familiar theories of work-life balance, Roberts teaches that balance is a state of existence, a becoming that, when realized, not only brings forth the highest version of an individual but optimizes their life's output, productivity, relational value, and overall achievement.As he unpacks balance with stunning relatability, Roberts connects with readers on every level. His easy-to-grasp style of teaching and unabashed vulnerability illuminate and clarify how living in balance is the longing in each human heart. Roberts shares life-changing personal stories and the principles they inspired while discovering balance in his own life. As an author, speaker, entrepreneur, CEO, and lead pastor of two large congregations in the United States--not to mention a devoted husband and dedicated father of six--Roberts knows that merely juggling responsibilities is not the answer.Balance departs from traditional techniques of time management and better organization to get to the core issues at stake. Roberts reveals that the path to true balance prioritizes self and discovers the unique, deep internal needs of the individual first. "Identifying your deepest needs not only is life-transforming but brings forth your greatest self, pouring an overflow of your best and highest abilities into the lives of everyone around you," Roberts explains. "Balance is not about learning to effectively give pieces of yourself to important parts of your life. Balance is about knowing and becoming your entire self--and then giving from your wholeness to everyone and everything within the context of your life."Key chapters include The Power of No, which unpacks why "no" is the most powerful word in your vocabulary; There's No Team in I, a liberating and paradigm-shifting exploration of the difference between being selfish and the transformational quality of a term Roberts coins as being "self-ful"; The 5 Signs of Imbalance, which will help you quickly identify the imbalances in your life and effectively respond before crisis hits; and Balance after The Blow, a step-by-step guide to get you back on your feet after experiencing an unexpected setback. You'll walk away from each illuminating chapter with powerful principles, tools, and prompts for self-evaluation.A personal navigation guide like no other, Balance charts your path to productivity, peace, positivity, purpose, and unlimited possibilities.This book is totally life changing. This book should be read by the masses and should be taught to all. Toure' is dropping some serious wisdom that we all need to catch. Toure's books get better and better and they are full of wisdom. I recommend everyone looking for balance or those who think they already have balance. Read this book!

This book is a great tool for everyday living.It gives you understanding and canbe used as a great compass in life.

This book is a must read! I read it months ago and still think back to the principles in it. Toure really put his all into this book. Very authentic and relatable.

This is a 10/10 highly recommend & must buy!This book is a complete breath of fresh air for the mind, body, and spirit. It’s a book I can say got to the core foundation of who I am, and helped me rebuild myself in a way I never have before. It helps us look beyond the surface levels of who we are, and dive directly into our inner core which is usually the place that needs the most work. In times right now, everyone is stressed, busy, ripping and running, minds are running a mile a minute, and if we’re all honest not many of us have balance. This book puts a light on that, explains why, helps us heal, then helps us transform. This book is transparent, this book is monumental & special, this book is balance.Part of the reason I bought this book was because I have been listening to Toure for years now, and it all started from the first time I heard him speak at an event. Toure is a husband, a father, a mentor, an author, a speaker, a business man, a leader, and so many other things. Who better to take advice from than a veteran? Toure’s life is the epitome of booked and busy, and that’s what makes his journey and this book so fascinating. Toure isn’t speaking on what he think works, or what he thinks is the best idea. He’s speaking from his life and his journey, he’s speaking from what healed him, what provided transformation, and what has been his golden rules of growth. His book isn’t just one we want, his book is one we all need!

I got the audio and hard-back book. This book is on my list to read at least two more times. There is so much great information that I know that I am going to have to take my time to go through this book and implement some of the lesson into my daily routine and life. Thanks PT!!

This book is more than amazing. I can't even put it into words. When PT, that's what we call him, initially mentioned it and was teaching on messages from it I knew then at that very moment it was something I needed. I'd gone through a lot in the course of the pandemic dealing with tough financial hardships and the loss of my mom, and the level of stress I'd been dealing with I knew I was off track. When he shared the final release date I told him I couldn't wait that long but now I have it. This book has not disappointed me. I'm still reading it but what I've read so far has far beyond exceeded my expectations. My biggest takeaway and aha moment for me was realizing that there's a pecking order to our lives. It's our relationship to God first, then ourselves, family, and whatever else comes after that that we see fit to work in our lives. Prioritization is the KEY word. Knowing what's important. Taking the time to give our souls what it needs to become our highest selves has been big for me. I must add that this book couldn't have come at a much better time in my life while I've been doing my healing work to become whole again. One of my favorite quotes says "The person who will find Balance must learn the discipline of regularly muting life's noise. Employing effective ways of quieting our lives will allow us to tap into the rhythm of the soul which leads us into Balance. Balance is PERFECT for me. And I wholeheartedly think that EVERYONE on this planet can benefit from this book.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Pastor Toure's book from such a transparent, organic and authentic perspective. I've taken many lessons on board from Toure's experiences and utilising them in my own life. This book is a great read if you are carrying too many things and need to refrain from being everything to everyone. It is important to know when to start and when to stop and this book puts it all together nicely. I hope the next person who reads this book will feel a transformational change for the wellbeing of their lives going forward.

I am ready to practice and live in this state that has not only been beautifully communicated but delivered with practical wisdom.

The best book you could read in 2022

Ordered this for my niece's birthday but came damaged and she wasn't impressed and neither was i, the item came on time but damaged.

I listened to the book on audible and felt needed to get a hard copy. I haven’t been disappointed so far.
