Balance
is about moderation, not extremes. Maintaining balance in your life
means doing the right amount of each thing. Some of you think that
things would be better if you only had more time off. Yet, when people
retire they find that there is such a thing as too much time off. There
is a balance between work and play, sleep and wakefulness, time
together and time apart that will create the most peace and joy for you.
You do not create balance by eliminating opposites. Balance is doing
things in moderation, stopping when the energy is gone and riding the
waves as they come in. It means pacing yourself in a steady, even way.
