I believe balance, as most people approach it, is an empty pursuit. It’s chasing the end of a rainbow.
You don’t need balance. If you’re honest Friend, you’re not even sure what balance means or what it would actually look like for you.
What is balance anyway? Balance is an idea someone else promoted as a personal life-equilibrium. An ideal proportion that’s right for you, as if such a state could last beyond a brief window of time.
Instead, clarify what fulfills you and prioritize your time, attention, and energy with those things. Don’t worry about the idea of balance. Focus on the reality of building your life around things that fulfill you, things that challenge you, and things that build you into who you want to become.
Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
