The planet is full of examples of perfect balance. The poles, the hemispheres, the tides, the seasons. The economy is driven by supply and demand, price being the balancing agent. Investment is about degrees of risk, return being the balancing agent. They could all be considered to be perfectly opposed or perfectly aligned to each other, whichever way you prefer to consider it. Unable to be unravelled or disconnected, they are perfectly entwined and dependent on each other for survival. They are the Ying and Yang.
So if that’s the way it’s ‘supposed’ to be, what’s happened to us as business people. Our work/play/rest balance. I’m having trouble finding the same perfect balance in the corporate and business environment. It seems that expectation (people’s own predominantly) has tipped the balance off the scale. Too much to do in the time frame and too many clients wanting too much for too little. Interesting how such a small unobtrusive word like too can define a situation or status ..
Listen for where you're using the word in your language, it’s a sign of imbalance. What’s your ‘too’, and what are you doing to eliminate it, to regain balance?
