The Myth of Balance

There is a myth that you must live a balanced life.

This is false.

Few people ever achieved great wealth through living a balanced life. They were focused, and unbalanced in their lives, in order to achieve great wealth.

The same can be said for folks with advanced degrees from universities, master musicians, craftsmen or carpenters, or anyone who has done monumental work.

To achieve anything great requires focus, dedication, determination, perseverance, early mornings, long days and late nights.

You are not required to do anything great with your life. Yet, what a shame, that you have incarnated in human form at this time, if you squander the opportunity you have, and choose NOT to do something great.
