In the past five years or so, there has been a lot of talk about "balance." What is balance? Is balance what I really even want? If so, what does that look like? After years of getting frustrated, I decided to stop chasing balance. At the end of it, I realized I never actually wanted "balance" in the first place. There will be chapters and points in your life where work will take up more focus than your home life; the opposite applies too. Stop seeking balance. it doesn't exist the way that you want it too. MOD: Be present in everything that you do and take time to work on yourself.
