"I'm Seeking Balance"...You ever say that? Or the "as soon as I get this done..." statements we make? As soon as I get my database updated, I'll finally have balance in my business? " As soon as I get my son off to college...", etc.
Well, I used to make those statements too, until I realized that "balance" implies a destination we somehow arrive at, and then we're done. When in fact, I've realized, I find more peace in realizing- life is more of the process of balance-ing, and balance is not a destination where we arrive. You seeit is the "ING " in balancing that actually made me stress less, because I realized it'll never be perfect balance, but I can "perfect practice" balancing my 5 circles of life: Business, Finance, Personal, Family & Spiritual. That knowledge of "close enough", because things are always changing, sometimes in more than one cirle at once.
Oh the perfectionist will hate this theory, it syas we're never done. However, if you are truly honest with yourself, when have you ever really had all 5 circles of life in perfect sync? Rarely if ever in my life, but it's a good life regardless, because the act of balancing keeps my attention on each area with more intent, without the stress of "perfection".
