Unfortunately I couldn't make it to class today because of car troubles, but I had an interesting conversation with a friend about balance.
I believe we need balance in our everyday lives. Without it we, or at least I, get either extremely stressed out with my responsibilities or get depressed because I put too much focus on a few things and completely disregard others (homework is a great example here). Balance, or lack thereof, can create some pretty awesome things like art, a great project at work, or a happy social life; but the beauty of life stands in the balance of yourself, your social life, and your professional life.
The thing is, how do we figure out this beautiful balance? If we tip the scales more towards ourselves we can find out what really makes us tick but we will lack in social and professional areas. The same goes for focusing more on social and professional areas that we will lack in the other two areas respectively. But, there also lies beauty in the unbalanced life. These unbalances can lead to growth which will lead to an eventual, better balance if one can keep moving forward. Say you focus on yourself more than the other areas. Once you have reached a pinnacle of acceptance for yourself it will improve both your social life and your professional life and I believe this is still true if you focus on being social and excelling in your professional life.
