Lack of Balance is Debt

© ilhanx

Lacking balance in anything you do is as though you’re in debt. This past month has been challenging because seeing a loved one hold on to dear life, with doctors being the only ones who can do something, has emphasized balance for me.

Creating a room for balance is the price I pay for pursuing my dreams. Otherwise, that passion will turn into anguish. I didn’t account for this before because I was present every day - eager to learn and unlearn. Hosting multiple spaces a day for more than 10+ hrs is not sustainable.

Over the course of a year, my whole outlook on life has drastically changed and that excitement stayed. Going on vacay a month ago combined with now a loved one being in critical condition made me re-examine it all.

The problem is, just like most things, balance is only really felt when something is wrong. Problems that are hard to solve become impossible without an existing layer of balance.

I hope to write more about this once I gain understanding.
