Balance…is there even such a thing?

Balance…is there even such a thing? I believe that balance can be found as long as your lens is wide enough, your time scale is long enough, and your perspective is broad enough. On any day it is likely that you are out of balance. I rarely have a day when I am an excellent mother, wife, daughter, partner, and professional all at the same time, but I also rarely have a day when I fail miserably at all of them. We cheat ourselves when we assume that in order to be balanced we have to be perfect at everything. Balance and perfection actually have nothing to do with each other. Balance is about achieving what you want, when you want it, in the way that you want.
