'Balance'

Balance always seems to get mentioned in life, you're always told you need to have balance, if you don't have balance its not healthy for you. What is balance?? Is it the balance of work, hobbies and passions in life?? Is it simply having more than one interest in life, what is balance?

I personally think that depending on your lifestyle and values in life it will be different from other people. I think the general idea of balance is to have something you are passionate about, some one to share this with whether it be a relationship or friends and something that you can do for yourself when you just want to escape from everything else. Personally I think I have balance in my life, I have some great friends that I could sit here and mention but they all know who they are, I have something that I am so passionate about in my life which is music, I have a football team I have recently joined which is another area that I'm always great joy from. Even when I'm feeling like I need a break from all that, I come and update my blog which gives me the great feeling of expression. Some times I feel like I need to just talk about something on my mind and this blog is fantastic in helping me to do this.

Theres one person I owe this blog to and that is Tom Owen (http://toheadspace.blogspot.com/) he started his blog long before mine please go check it. He inspired me to start my own and he helped me along the way, I have to say some one that I met back in college who I always thought was cool but never expected for us this many years later to be such good friends which is something that is surprising but something I'm very happy about.

When it comes to balance I think if you are happy in life then what does it matter? People can say if you don't have balance you will eventually not be happy but some people like having one thing in life that they are focused on and that they love so who is any one to tell them that's not right or healthy and they need something else to be the 'Normal' definition of happy. Balance is what you want it to be you can apply it to your situation in so many different ways I think its just a cliché that people use to try and tell you that you're not happy.

Balance is nothing but a word, if you happy living your life it means nothing...
