Balance

Constantly trying to balance

Between the state of 'being' and the state of 'doing'
Between what I like to do and what I must
Between how I want to be, who I am and who I am expected to be
Between work and play
Between fun and responsibility
Between indulging in this moment and worrying about the future
(why does future have a ring of worry to it always - food for my thought)
Between advancing my career and feeling fulfilled within myself
Between the accolades that come from outside and the simple contentment that fills me within
Between the quest for money and the quest for time

The balance is what gives a sense of control.

As with food, so with life - the balance of ingredients is what makes it delicious
A little more of this ...a little less of that and we've spoilt it completely
