The hard times and the light times


Today I discovered something I haven't thought about before. It's all about balance, you know? You can't devote all your time to one cause and expect to be happy about it. You just fall in a "black hole", a magic circle you can't escape of. And when you finally find a way to escape from one "black hole", you immediately fall into another. And so on, and so on. And in all cases you're not happy.
So it's more like a spiral - you always spin around something, but the core is somewhere in the distant middle and you can't reach it.


So what's the solution? Can there be a solution at all?

Well, YES! For sure! The solution is start searching for the balance. For the golden mean. And to start from right now!

Just walk slowly, with small paces, look around, look for signs or any challenges ahead. And don't look back.

P.S. Thanks, G.

Well, searching for balance for sure is one of the purposes of man's life in my opinion.
I have recently reflected on how to create my inner core balance that would allow me to stay calm even in different situations, when my core values are threatened.
It is extremely hard, but when u find it, I believe you find happiness in everyday things and satisfaction from life.
My MC term helped me a lot to get closer to this...hope it will help you as well:)

I might say you're quite right about balance. I can't even think of reaching the ultimate balance right now. It's again all about making small paces. I haven't thought much about the ultimate balance. It's more about the "current" balance - balance of the different things you are engaged with in your life. Like personal life, AIESEC, university, job, etc... It's tough, really. But the balance is needed anyway.
