What does a balanced life mean to you?

A balanced life necessarely means for me a big part of unknow that will remain unknown untill I overcome it so I get a new perspective that will bring me to a next step. The wheel has to turn always. And for that, you need to look for unbalance. Otherwise, there's no movement, or just illusion of movement, and your evolution is stopped. Just look how you walk. If you really look at the movement of walking, you'll find that what push you from the back to the front is unbalance..! That is a really simple explanation of a more (or even less...!) subtle principle that my friend and teacher Leonardo de Luca calls the 3-1 portal. He explains this in his book The Artist-Entrepreneur, 13 modes of flirting with darkness. And he's a Zaadster too... (go check my friend wall). But to make it simple, balanced life has to be unbalanced! C'est la vie....

To me, a balanced life is knowing that the very idea of balance is not a goal one can sustain long term. It is giving up on perfection even as I seek it.

It’s like a teeter totter- you know those things at the park you sometimes see-
There is one moment when you are on it and you and your friend are in perfect balance. It lasts but a moment. Then one goes down while the other goes up and then you trade.
That seems to be what balance is. Going with the dance of it all.
