Every Skool community I'm in is talking about balance, that it's very important. Even my family doesn't understand me, they think I'm crazy, but I'm not the only one... After studying the most successful people on the planet, they tell a whole other story! First of all It depends on what you want in life: Do I want to be the greatest in my field or just an average Joe? Secondly To master a skill, it takes an average of 10,000 hours. I can either "balance" my time that I spend working on the skill OR I can work day in day out on my project/dream or whatever that excites me. If it's my passion, and I'm having fun doing it, why would I need balance? Who do you think is getting there first? Imagine this graph goes to level 10 expert (see image) Yes it's hard, But the more that I work on the skill the better I get. The better I get, the bigger the challenges. The more I level up, the easier it gets to do lower-level work. After a long period of time, everything will be so easy, and everyone will be asking how you did it. It's the daily grind. Removing distractions to make place for actions. Would you like to live the dream? or prefer to continue dreaming about it? It's about finding something that I'm good at and sticking with it! One day I'll look back and be proud of myself that I dedicated so much time levelling up. Let's find what you're good at (your strengths) and remove all the distractions that are keeping you from achieving your goals! "If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do," - Michael Phelps(28 Olympic medals) Everyone starts at level 0, some are at level 4, some at level 8, but there is always a place to improve. I'm a bit extreme; I don't believe in balance really. But rest days are a part of the process. Like working out, it requires repair time for growth. The brain is the same when I work. When it's time to choose between video games or work, I work. That's what I'm talking about. Balance is choosing work even if you don't really want to.
