Juggling is better than being balanced

Colleagues,

17. Juggling is better than being balanced

​I figured this one out on my own, but it took a long time. I used to want to be more balanced with my time. My life was always out of balance and usually work had the lion’s share. For years, I said “I need to have a more balanced life.” 

Then, by some strange alignment of the stars, I achieved a balanced life. Was it wonderful? 

No. I hated it. 

Being balanced means you are mediocre at everything. That might be okay for some people, but I can’t do it.

Now. instead of balancing, I juggle. 

I focus on one thing, put all of myself into it, and then I throw it into the air and move to the next thing. Each part of my life gets my undivided attention, but only for brief snippets. 

I can be good at everything I do by only doing one thing at a time.

Intention: Reflect on this. We aren’t all the same, so do you want balance or juggling? Why?

Cheers!

Frederick
