How does one find that sweet spot of balance in one's life? What is "balance"?
Social media is saturated with motivational quotes, posters, self-help guru's, arm chair experts etc all peddling advice and commenting on how to live "the dream" and "live your passions". The frenzy of "likes" and sharing of posts offers fleeting comfort that Yes!! This is it!! Lets go for it!! The collective wallow that is social media masks the true symptoms of individual struggles to live lives of purpose, passion and energy WITHIN lives of drudgery, routine and responsibility. We spend hours drooling with envy at the boastful holiday posts from exotic destinations....the adventurous lifestyles of the few who are"living the dream"...professional athletes...the rich and famous, and a creeping cancer of dissatisfaction takes root! We grumble, complain and yearn for what we don't have and all the while we choose to ignore what we do have! We become restless, negative and perpetuate the cycle of energy-wasting coveting.
