One of the easiest ways to think about life balance:
Life is simply a never ending balance of learning what to hold on to and what to let go of.
The art of letting go and holding on to the best and worst of Life’s Big Choices.

Why?
Because it forced me to decipher life’s biggest categories.
Why?
Because how can a child be taught life’s most important secrets, if the teacher doesn’t know them?
And how is it that the teacher could know what’s most important, but not do it? So I began practicing what I was going to have to preach.
