Balance

You need balance in your life. But there is such a thing as too much balance. Things can't always go the way you want them. Sometimes the scales tip in the opposite direction of where you wish they would. You can either be consumed by the pressure, or you can let it fuel you. I prefer to let it fuel me. Keeping everything bottled up is unhealthy, and eventually you will explode (no homo.) At the risk of sounding cliché, the first step is acceptance. Accept that you can't have things go exactly as you hoped. How boring would life be if everything came easy? Just when you think things are going your way, life seems to throw an unexpected curve into the road. Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero; seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow. If you look too far into the future, you forget to live the present. You lose balance and in the end you just lose.
