Balancing the wrong way

Most of us are trying to balance a lot of things. Balancing work with life. Balancing health with convenience. Balancing spending with saving.

​One of the most important balances you'll ever hit is the balance between pushing yourself and loving yourself.

​FALSE. That's a lie.

​I don't think you need to balance that. I'd offer to you that that is the struggle framed in the wrong context. That those two are NOT mutually exclusive.

​You can love yourself AND still push yourself. Still expect more of yourself.

​No election is won with 100% of the vote. Some times you fail to push yourself. Some times you need to relax.

​If you can't push yourself while still loving yourself, how are you going to grow?

​If you can't love yourself when you're not perfect, then you're f***ing up your ability to be happy.

​How does this show up in your life?
