Life’s Seesaw: Finding Balance
Balance: It’s more than just a word on my shirt; it’s a practice I live by every day. You know, for me, life is like a seesaw or a weight scale. On one side, there’s where I’ve been—old habits, comfort zones, and the baggage I’ve worked to leave behind. On the other side, there’s where I want to go—the dreams, goals, and the person I’m striving to become. And here I am, right in the middle, working to keep things steady. Some days, finding that balance is a struggle, but that’s all part of the journey, isn’t it?
This isn’t just about my own growth; it’s also about where I invest my time, energy, and space, and with whom. I’ve learned to choose relationships carefully—friends, family, partners—and invest in people willing to do their part. Relationships need both people to show up, meet each other halfway, and share the load. When I find myself doing all the heavy lifting, I ask, Am I sharing my energy with someone who’s also meeting me halfway and helping keep things balanced?
In the end, finding balance isn’t a solo journey; only I can decide for myself. I’m the one who knows what feels right and where my true balance lies, in both the connections I keep and the choices I make. That seesaw will always tip back and forth, and I’ve learned to stay steady, ready to slide to either side, and adjust my energy as needed to stay balanced.
