Life is all about balance.
If you stretch yourself too much in one direction, you will realise the negative impacts sooner rather than later.
There is an old saying that sums this up perfectly.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
If you devote yourself to one thing, such as work, while neglecting other areas, it’s going to have negative effects on your life.
Jack may be working hard, but because that is the majority of what he does, he hasn’t worked on other areas of himself to become a well-rounded individual.
His life has no balance.
Leading a life such as Jack’s is a surefire route to misery. Devoting yourself to one thing may work for a while, but it will destroy you in the long-term.
Just as a diet in fast food is unsustainable in the long-term, so is a life without balance.
Striking a balance between work, pleasure, and education is the key to a purposeful life.
Strike A Balance
You don’t realise how important balance is until your life has none.
Towards the end of my time in Barcelona, balance was something that was not in my life.
