Stop Searching for "Balance"

Andy speaking on a stage

I see far too many people who are infatuated with the idea of “balance.”

They question how they can accomplish their goals and still have time to do the shit they like.

If that sounds like you...

The answer is simple...

You can't.

When you go out to pursue your biggest goals in life...

There is no such thing as "balance."

So start thinking about balance differently.

Balance isn't something you can measure on a daily...

Weekly...

Monthly...

Or even yearly basis.

All truly successful people understand that real balance is achieved over the course of their lifetime.

They know that if they can just invest in themselves and their goals for 10-15 years...

They'll have the means to do whatever they want for the rest of their lives.

“…but what happens if your life gets cut short, Andy?”

Well you’ll go out as someone who is giving it their fucking all and that’s pretty noble in anyone’s book.

Everyone respects people like that.

People like that leave a mark in their absence.

You may not give a shit…

I think it matters.

Look guys … the point is…

Success isn't supposed to be easy or "balanced."

It’s the exception not the rule.

It's going to take all your energy.

It's going to take all your time.

It's going to take all your commitment.

But the longer you search for the perfect work/life balance...

The longer you'll hold yourself back from ever achieving balance at all.

There is no shame in living a life of giving it your fucking all…

…and in today’s world it’s your only true chance for any freedom or balance.
