Hi, Steemians!
Common sense has always been an important part of my mindset, but that does not mean that I completely agree with it.
One of the things that I have always found silly is the concept of balance.
People with more experience claim that a good life is a life of balance, where everything is in its place.
But many people mistake this simple and beautiful concept with the idea that everything should be equally important in your life.
This erroneous thought leads to dangerous mental consequences.
I want to dedicate this article and dispel this false analogy.
Seeking a life with balance is fallacious, because by logical assessment, when you excel at one area in your life, you are going to lose your focus on the rest.
This dangerous and wrong belief can give you depression in the long run. Because from time to time in your life, your focus shifts to a particular thing and you begin to do really well in that area.
But you start to take a look at other aspects of your life and scorn yourself for not paying them the attention they deserve.
For example, a businessman who is deep into his work can hardly find the appropriate amount of attention to go to the gym and do a good job there for himself.
At this point, a man with common sense might think that he is living a terrible life because he doesn’t have ‘balance’ but there is no such thing as true balance.
Life is a playground of compromise and acceptance.
Furthermore, a person who seeks true balance and achieves it is doomed to live a boring life.
Having balance and taking care of everything means living a life of strict discipline that has no loophole for compromise or creativity.
This also means that people who achieve true balance take care of everything with equal measure, but they do not EXCEL at anything particular.
This is because they are living a life of mediocrity. When your attention is equally divided for many different things, you cannot ace any one of them.
But despite all its flaws, society still thinks that balance is the key to happiness. Well, I say something different: Balance is the key to depression and lack of focus.
I’ve seen many young people lose their grip on life and forsake their dreams because of the fallacious pursuit of balance.
What is balance, in the end, other than something that can only restrain you and your creative energy?
Live a life of compromise and excitement. Take risks, make mistakes, and dedicate your attention to something you really love.
This means that from time to time, you are not going to be able to pay attention or tribute to certain aspects of your life and that is totally fine!
Because despite the fact that you are losing your grasp in other areas, you are achieving something remarkable in the are that you are dedicating your attention to!
A BIG HUG!!!

The balance for many is perfection, and there if I think that it would be a boring life, that does not allow to do something different from time to time. These people repress themselves of many things because they are extremists and do not fully enjoy the opportunities that come their way in life.

Greetings @chbartist
The message is complex as life itself I agree to carry out one, or some priority activities, being able to focus all the available resource: time, money, physical and mental effort, for the conclusion of the objectives set In order to be efficient with our life projects, we must draw a list of objectives, at least 30 objectives, and take from this list the 5 most important, focusing all resources available in the execution of these 5 objectives. After the first 5 objectives have been met, we carry out an assessment and readjust the list of objectives to take the first 5 objectives and add 5 new ones to the list, based on what is to be achieved in a medium and long term time, guaranteeing a course on the horizon. The above is based on the Pareto 80/20 law In order to achieve the above, help from the environment is required. the people that make up our first social circles, family and friends, as well as colleagues or partners, all must collaborate, or at least understand that the fulfillment of our objectives will help our growthDownvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible.

When I was a child and was about to do some homework.
Always the advice of the adult in charge was:
"Use common sense."
So to use common sense is; for me ; Doing things as reasonably as possible and in a way that makes sense.
I think it does not match your agreement.

I can’t agree more with you on this and my own live is living testament to this theory however I always have some heart ache about the things I have to neglect because there is never enough time in life. The art of juggling is a fine skill that we need to perfect. There needs to be room for spontaneous creativity but it usually means another aspect has to suffer. Peoples demands and expectations often mean I have to spread myself thin, perhaps this is because I try to do too much. I always looked at those with routine balanced lives with pity as they were missing the spark in life that makes living an adventure. I hope the community take heed of your words and find themselves truely 🙏

Either you balance life or focus on something you love, its about what's the most important to you.
Its about how you define happiness in your life.
You can't say to a person who want to balance his life as a boring person because that's what he loves to do, to balance life.
If you yourself disagree in balancing life and want to excel and achieve one thing you love and leave those other aspects of your life, then go on, its your own choice.
There's no right and wrong between the two.
Sometimes we're too emotional and forget the right reason that's important compared to feelings and emotions.

What a great and thought provoking post my friend! I often wish for a balanced life but know that I often find myself living in extremes do to the way life throws challenges at you. I have experienced 80 hour work weeks and seen how they leave me overweight. I have also been lean and at 14% body fat just to see my relationship at home not to be in the best shape. Although I seek balance, I don’t live by it and we need to deal with what is in front always.

Life can be so upside down from what we really want, most especially people don't become what the world wants them right when the were born but what you really choose when you grown.

Nada más humano que eso pero pienso que la diversidad es lo que marca la diferencia entre los que se sienten bien con el equilibrio y los que se sienten bien con los riesgos.

I agree that your attention should not be divided into many different things. Instead, I always recommend splitting hard tasks only in two, one of 60% and another to 40%, one difficult and another enjoyable --like the nuclear fission process (the heavy elements divides into lighter ones).

De verdad que resulta complicado concebir una idea de equilibrio en la vida, porque tendrìamos que partir de la concesiòn de la vida entre el cuerpo y el Alma o espiritu, alegria y tristeza, èxito y fracaso, pareciera muy difìcil vivir pensando alcanzar el equilibrio, ciertamente resulta aburrido, el tratar de que la tristeza sea igual a la alegria. Sin embargo, en el mundo de los negocios, resulta màs comprensible y sencillo determinarlo y alcanzarlo, dado que toda inversiòn persigue alcanzar altos rendimientos, en la misma forma que hayamos cubiertos los costos; en otras palabras observarìamos el equilibrio en la medida que los ingresos sean iguales a los costos y una vez superados estos serìan las ganancias.

Does striving to achieve Ballance actually breeds MEDIOCRITY??
A statement quite debatable!!
I think EXCELLENCE could be eked within Balance. But the activities should be few and the most Critical!!
