Do you struggle to balance it all? Of course you do. We all do. Why is it that everyone is seeking balance, but most of us are having difficulty actually achieving it? To have balance all things must be equal. In reality, all things aren't equal. Our values and priority are not equal. Personally, I value family time more than sleep. I truly love sleep. However, if I have to choose between spending quality time with my son and an extra hour of sleep, then my son wins.
Achieving balance is impossible. Cut yourself some slack and stop trying to do it all. Instead, we should focus on achieving harmony. With harmony all of the moving parts work together to accomplish a desired result. You may turn down a promotion that requires you to travel because time with your family makes you happy. Ultimately, we all want to be happy. Your definition of happiness probably differs from mine. That's fine. Think of an orange. The sizes of orange slices differ, but together they form a circle. Each of your values/priorities is a slice and together they form your life. The shape/outcome of your life depends on your choices.
What changes will you make to achieve harmony?
