“Everything in moderation.”
Wrong.
Everything in balance.
Moderation is the avoidance of extremes. The problem is that moderate effort often produces moderate results.
If you want exceptional health and energy, you’ll likely need an exceptional level of attention, discipline, and consistency in your daily habits.
If you want an extraordinary business, you’ll need to devote a similar level of focus and intention to your work.
There is nothing wrong with moderate results if that’s what you’re looking for. But many people desire extraordinary outcomes while committing only moderate effort.
Balance doesn’t mean giving everything the same amount of energy. It means knowing where to direct your energy, and when.
You can be relentless in your pursuit of health while still being present with your family.
You can be deeply committed to your work while still making time for rest, connection, and play.
Balance isn’t the absence of intensity. It’s the ability to be intense in the right places without neglecting the rest of your life.
Life requires a tremendous amount of energy.
Don’t aim for moderation in the things that matter most.
Aim for balance.
