If I were to define balance, it would probably be finding the right combination of what you do for self and what you do for others. There are very few people that can operate at either end of the spectrum. We, normal folks that is, have to find the right balance of the, “have-tos” and the “want-tos.” But how?

When I first entered the working world, I got a piece of advice that stuck with me and I often quote, “You either do what you love regardless of the pay, or you do a job you may not like that affords you the ability to do what you love outside of work.” While I would like to tell everyone to do the former, just like in 8th grade, not everybody can be Michael Jordan. Most people are forced into the latter and it takes either high-tolerance to cope or a lot of drive to get into doing something you do love.
