“There is no such thing as work-life balance as everything worth fighting for at first unbalances your life. It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow. Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it , joke about it and change it as times change, truly are powerless because they cannot think new thoughts. It’s not so much that we’re afraid of change o r so in love with the old ways, but it’s that place in between that we fear. It’s like being between trapezes. The solution to our mood problems may not require heroic attempts to change our inner world or the outer world of people, places and jobs. Rather, it may simply involve a shift in the way we pay attention.” XO
