The Importance Of Having Balance In Our Lives

The Importance Of Having Balance In Our Lives I have always had an incredible drive to work hard.  When I am at work I genuinely work my tail off. I am motivated and driven and focused on getting a tremendous amount done, and all of that is positive, but my problem lies in that I often don’t know how to put things down and stop working for the night. There is always one more email, one more phone call, one more contract to review, one more issue to fix, and the list goes on and on and on. Often times it’s so late at night when I finish working that I only have time to eat a late meal and go right to bed, only to wake up early the next morning and start over again. I get so busy with being busy that I forget the importance of balance. I forget the need to sometimes step back, take a deep breath, meditate, take a walk, and enjoy the smell of the flowers.
