Life is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

Everybody talks about achieving balance these
days, but how many are actually achieving it? If your
life is about meeting deadlines, chauffeuring others,
constantly competing with others, and racing around
the clock, with nary a moment for yourself, chances
are you're going to be out of balance in a hurry.
Without balance, whether that involves too much fun,
too much relaxation, too much work, too little rest, too
little nutrition, or too little peace of mind, you're going
to get out of whack in a hurry, and then you'll be of
little use to anyone, especially yourself.
