There are some things in my life that are so elusive that I’ve recently found myself giving up on any realistic opportunity to achieve them. One of the most elusive, and perhaps the one I’m most in need of is…
…balance.
There are many different types of balance of course: work, church, exercise, volunteering, friendships, significant-other relationships, family time, hobbies, and on and on.
Candidly, I don’t feel like I have balance in any of these areas.
With so many books, articles and other blog posts available on this topic you would think that I had figured out a system that works best for me.
But, no.
My solution? Go full speed, most of the time, in everything.
And just to make things a bit more complicated…for some reason I have been blessed (or cursed) with massive amounts of energy.
So…I’m actually able to go full speed, most of the time, in everything.
Maybe I’m overthinking balance. Just maybe, balance, for me, is to do everything I possibly can, for as many people that I can, for as long as I can?
Am I on to something? Long-awaited clarity perhaps? Chasing balance may not be the goal…instead, embracing my full life might just be the answer.
What is that elusive thing for you?
Thanks for being here.
