It's as if I came full circle I left my secure job, home, relationship, and community six years ago to explore the world (along with nurturing my dream and passion - my book, and everything that comes with that). The work component had really consumed my life. Now is the time to go back to what I left - but with fresh eyes and a new perspective... We will have phases through our entire life where one area will rise above the other - the key, however, is BALANCE."

 

还有很多有效地达到平衡的方法。几年以前，Back Door Guide to Short-Term Adventures一书的作者Michael Landes开始尝试了一种短时间工作的经历。最近他告诉我说：“就是因为有这些短期工作的经验，我才能够达到今天的地步，我才能找到我真正想要的。在我的事业，生活，人际关系，和家庭生活之间找到平衡。就好像一个循环一样，六年前，为了探知一个未知的新世界，我离开了有保障的工作，家庭，抛弃了所有的关系。工作真的毁了我的生活。而现在，又回到了我离开前的样子了，唯一不同的是新鲜的看法和不同的观点。我们的整个生命进程中，都会有不同的阶段此起彼伏，而关键就是找到平衡。

 

Balance is possible and well worth the effort sometimes required to achieve it. After all, we really don't have forever.

 

找到平衡是有可能的，有时候是值得努力去达到这个平衡的。毕竟，我们没有永远。
