I'm Not Balanced This Christmas - Why That Is Ok And Needed As A Human

Today is Christmas Day.

I had someone ask me to come up with an idea around "Cheer" Recently.

For the Life of Me, I Couldn't.

I Tried to think of Other Ideas around "Christmas" to Write About.

I Write and Publish an Article Daily (Including Today) and have Successfully done so for over 700 Days Straight...

You'd Imagine I Could.

Yet, Nothing.

Nothing about the "Typical" Christmas Messages Stood Out.

I also have Another Reality I was Facing.

I am "Way" Behind on Reading the Works of those I Frequently Follow.

There are some Writers who I have had Extreme Diligence in Reading Consistently.

However, I'm Behind.

It's True.

About Two Weeks at this Point.

I have Not Been "Balanced" when it comes to that Aspect of My Work.

Really, I'm Not "Balanced" when it comes to "Most" Aspects of My Work.

But I'm Not Worried.

Not in the Slightest.

I actually Believe this is Great!

If you Follow "Most" Advice that Exists, they will Say that You "Need" to Find Balance.

"Balance is Key".

I say they are Completely Wrong.

Why?

Balance Does Not Exist.

That's Reality.

You will "Never" Find "Balance".

There is this Overwhelming Belief that there is some "Magical" Point where Suddenly You "Exist" in Balance.

That is Not How Life Works.

It Never Has.

It Never Will.

If you Study Physiology and Physics, you'll see the Exact Same Thing.

Balance Does Not Exist.

What Does Exist?

"Balancing".

Balance is a Noun (aka Person, Place, or Thing) that is "Perpetual".

Balancing is an Action (aka Something You "Do") that You Must Constantly Work On.

Life is Always in Motion.

Factors will Change from Year to Year.

Season to Season.

Month to Month.

Day to Day.

Moment to Moment.

These Factors are in Constant Motion.

Always.

Due to this Fact, You'll Discover that "Balance" can Never Exist, because "Balance" Requires Perpetual Constancy.

Nothing is Perpetual in Life.

Things Always Change.

This is also "Why" I'm Not Balanced this Christmas.

I've been Focusing More on Family the past Few Weeks.

My Spouse had her Birthday.

Family Flew into Town.

Today is Christmas.

So my Primary Focus has been Family.

It is a Value of Mine that I'm Committed To.

Does this mean that I get "No" Work Done?

No.

I Still Have My "Minimums" that I am Committed To.

That is Why I am Writing at this Moment.

I will Hit My Minimums.

Then, I will Spend More Time with Family.

Will I get back to All the Aspects of my Work?

Absolutely!

This is what is Known as "Counter-Balancing".

There are Times in Life when you "Must" Lock-In Deeply to Whatever You're Doing.

Think of it like this...

You Shouldn't be Doing A Work Project on Your Wedding Day or During the Birth of Your Child.

You Shouldn't Plan a 6-Hour Workout on the Day that Your Largest Client is Expecting You to Meet Their Deadline Tomorrow.

There is a Time and Place for Everything.

Lean in One Direction.

Then Lean in the Other Direction.

Remember that it is "Balancing".

You Move Back and Forth as Needed.

You Plan and Adapt as Needed.

We Should Never be "Balanced".

Can you Imagine, in the Middle of Your Wedding saying, "Hey, this is Amazing, but I haven't hit My "Balanced" Point of Work Today, so I'm going to Need the Priest to Wrap this Up!"

Can you Imagine, in the Middle of Your Business Presentation saying, "Hey, this has been Great, but I haven't hit My "Balanced" Point of Working Out, so I'm going to Hit the Gym and we can Finish Tomorrow."

It is Alright to be Unbalanced.

As long as You Counter-Balance.

As a Human You "Need" to Counter-Balance.

There are Extremely Important Aspects of Life we Must Attend To.

Work.

Relationships.

Health.

They All Need Deep Focus.

But at Different Times.

Make Sure You Focus Where It is Most Needed Today.
