The Balancing Act

It strikes me today that I miss focusing on business and technology. For the last few weeks, I've been focusing on all the other areas of my life that I need to learn and grow in. I've neglected the area that I've excelled in over the last few years.

Part of balance is finding a way to integrate what I enjoy from my old life with what I enjoy and want to pursue in my new life.

Part of being emotionally healthy is not to sacrifice any one of the various aspects of my personality, interests, and beliefs. That is what caused the problem in the first place - I swung so far into my job and work and sacrificed so much of what I wanted for my family and personal life.

As I look at my success principles - the ones I figured out last week - I realize that I must make progress against the whole, not just one or two.

Break things into chunks, create a map, a path, of how to create success in these areas, but be sure to include each of the areas. Because if I swing too far into one, the others will suffer. Success in a balanced life will only come if I consider all the aspects.
