The best, simplest, explanation for finding balance in life

Two authors who work together at a world class company
Balance isn’t between work life and home life (it’s five things, not two)

 

For a variety of reasons, and especially those reasons being led by media of all sorts, we have some nebulous notion of balance.

Balance isn’t absence of stress. Which is what many people think is the byproduct of balance.

Balance is taking a personal inventory (at whatever intervals we choose) and giving ourselves a grade or evaluation on how much energy we are expending mentally, physically, spiritually, professionally (at work), and personally (at home).

Our energy ought to feel like no single area of the five is being neglected. It should feel like each area is symbiotic with the others.

When one is enhanced, all are enhanced.

When one is diminished, all are diminished.

And we want to be in a place were we can recognize it nearly instantaneously, and even to predict it in the future and take action now to mitigate it.

We were convinced they were in the right order

What is karma? And is it important? And how or why/why not?

 

Ever have a few days with a string of events reminding you of the difficult nature of managing our priorities?

Our exposure to things we normally aren’t exposed to challenges the order of our priorities.

The very same priorities we were convinced were in the right order.

One wish today. That we put our heads on our pillows tonight and smile and feel a peace and contentment that only comes from living authentically.

Appreciate your authenticity (honesty) in sharing that

Appreciate your authenticity (honesty) in sharing that.

The vision for the book was to help a young man (now only 13) think about the future.

And to be crystal clear with him that everything is a choice.

And that we are in charge of our choices.

And that our choices have outcomes.

And we are never locked into bad or good choices.

However, we will develop habits.

And to be really, really intentional about which habits we create (and avoid).

Wishing you nothing but the best.

Have read the book 21 times since its been in print.

Each time it is more inspiring, more validating.

More important.
