Maintaining balance in what you do is very crucial and it shows how flexible your approach towards life is. Too much of everything may not be good for you, so you need to maintain a required amount of balance. One of the major problems people face is either having excesses of a particular thing or having too little of it. Take this instance; having to eat excessively at once may be a death sentence. In the same way, having extremely small amount of food will lead to starvation.
That a particular thing is good, most times, is only relative to its amount. A friend of mine once said that "laughing is very good and can act as medicine but if you laugh excessively without cause, then you need medicine". This may be humorous but there is a remote truth in it. Even working should have its limits in order to maintain balance in life. Remember this popular quote about work:
All work and not playing will make Jack a dull kid
It takes maturity to identify what you need and how to go about it but it takes a higher level of maturity to know the amount you need and to maintain balance. If you have watched when kids eat, most times they do not know their satisfaction level, so they are only at the mercy of the adult feeding them but when they grow up, they will know their limits.
The spices of living is when diversity is brought into life and not by being straitjacketed into one particular way of doing things. When one aspect of your life takes the place of another aspect, then problems may erupt. As a student, for example, you need to know when to hope for success and when to read and prepare for success. This is not to invalidate the place of hope but too much hoping without actions will only lead to frustration. I once said:
A student that hopes without reading will fail. Hoping does not make one irresponsible but helps you assume responsibility
Diversity and change have remained the hallmarks of nature itself. This is why you have alterations of times and seasons. Imagine if a particular season extends for a long period without changing, the fabric of nature will be cracked. In the same way, following a particular format in your life without changing or upgrading it will place limitations on you. You should always give room for flexibility of approach.
You do not need something to start going wrongly before you change or before you learn to maintain balance, you have to do that to prevent things from going wrong. It is always easier and better to prevent something wrong from happening than to provide solutions to it when it has happens.
Thanks for reading
Hi @samminator
Another great post full of very deep reflections. It often happens to me that when I read your posts I find myself, and I say to myself: hey.... think about this.
I am often overworked, I put it on myself. I enjoy what I do, I can't say no, I really enjoy it now, but, still, being something I enjoy, in excess may not be good.
I'm really glad that you enjoyed the post. Yeah, we need to maintain balance in life even if we enjoy doing what we do. Thanks a lot buddy
You are right... in life, creating a balance is very important. Like you said, too much of something might not be the best approach, sometimes, it is best to have an equilibrium in what ever we do and try to find the balance to achieve the desired results and success.
Exactly, having a point of equilibrium is the best approach towards life. Thanks a lot for dropping by buddy
Unfortunately I think that many people look for that balance when something goes wrong, but certainly you have to have a balance in life, especially in work and personal life, because you sacrifice many things that you can't recover later. Regards
We do not have to wait till things go wrong before we look for the balance. One of the purposes of having a balance in what we do is to prevent things from going wrong. Thanks buddy
Balance is important to live, extremes are always harmful, neither so fast nor so slow should be the goal, but to achieve it requires maturity, control and above all to be clear of the goals we intend to achieve, since not all of them can be achieved immediately and it is not healthy to live for now and not forever.
Very good your explanation and advice, because when we are young we want to be faster than light and that leads us to get frustrated when we reach an age where it is difficult for us even to walk.

Hi @samminator
I share your opinion, it is better to be balanced, flexible, willing to change and react in a timely manner.
Excesses are not good, having or wanting too many things or activities without setting guidelines and limits is not recommended. Nor is it advisable to wait too long to act in situations that require attention and solutions, as they can become more complicated.
Thank you for this publication.
Best regards,
Some things are usually very healthy to the body until we begin to get excessive with our actions towards them, life is better enjoyed when we learn to create balance.
