The closest you will ever get to “balance in your life” is the instantaneous pass-through from one side of life to the other. In other words, balance is a mental invention that convinces you you can “teeter” between its versions of good or bad. It’s a “balancing act” no one, including you, will ever realize. Why? Life is not a teeter-totter; it’s an experience. That experience is impervious to your or anyone’s sense of fairness and equilibrium. Humans have a perverse sense of right and wrong, e.g., “opposites,” when life is what it is without a notion of balance. Seriously, can you imagine just sitting on a swing and not swinging? And once you’re swinging, the pass-through from one side to the other is not even noticeable. All you’re doing is swinging, and for many of us, screaming whee! Scream at life if you must, but don’t judge it. Ride whatever arc you are on for all its worth. There is no balance. Get on that swing and let it fly. Make your living the ride of your life!
