Balance is a vital key to quality living!
We have all heard that too much of a good thing can be bad, but what about not enough of something that you don't care for being bad also. Life is all about balance. We can take a cue from the the world around us. We have season that change, day and night, land and sea. The whole world is balanced to perfection. It is easy to do the things that we like to do, but it is also important to do the things that we don't like to do. Most people are not fans of going to work but without it we might not be able to do the things we enjoy outside of work. A great example of balance is the food pyramid. As much as we love some of our favorite foods, depending on what that food is chances are if you ate it everyday you would have a potently serious health problem. On the other side the foods we don't like to eat are the ones we need to on an occasional basis in order to stay healthy. One of my favorite foods is pizza. I'm sure if I ate that everyday eventually I would be too big to go in and order one.
Just like we have to balance our diets we also have to balance our lives. Being a hard worker is something to be proud of, but working continuously without a break will wear you out. If you have been working hard trying to achieve a dream or accomplish a goal, remember it is always important to do some things that you enjoy as well. Finding a good balance of work and play will make it much easier to achieve your goals. If you continue to work without a break, eventually you will burn out and your productivity will suffer. The same is true about playing too much and not working enough, you can get so distracted and detached that you fall further from your goal. Finding that perfect blend between work and play will make achieving your goals much more smooth. You can do it, don't give up!
