Separate Water from a River

…“Work-life balance” is a toxic distinction, inviting misery and stress, endless juggling and reconfigurations to try and get it “right,” where no right actually exists.

Maybe the hippies, the yogis, Einstein had it right when they say that everything is life – no matter what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with – because everything is energy, vibration, movement. You can’t separate work from life anymore than you can separate water from a river.

The question, then, becomes more about where, energetically speaking, do you want to dwell? What sort of pulse and movement do you want to enjoy, through it all? Tortured and low, with the executives and the mind’s cruel categories, or up high, with the lovers, the synergists and the fools?

  10. Reblogged this – for I figured I would share the sharp intake of breath I felt when I first looked at the picture. I believe that work-life balance is a forced equation – another self-inflicted pressure. Live, do more things that you love than things that you don’t, cherish what you value above all else, challenge your brain, open your heart.
