…“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?

I vote for up high, with the fools!
Of course you would!
Easy. I’m hanging with the hippies.
No comment.
the photo makes me want to hold my breath…..
Yes…that was my takeaway as well. The photo and the message.
“…“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.” 🙁 That’s all…just :-(.
Not his suggested solution but certainly the treadmill we (some of us) are on.
every moment is life. it’s how you choose to spend them that matters. this i believe.
Yes…

Yes, so true Don.
Make a life, rather than just a living…the path so many seek to tread… And that photo freaks. Me. Out!
Laughing….

Another fabulous offering from David Kanigan
Thank you Mimi.
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.
I will drink to that!
Yes, now to make it happen.
I choose “up high, with the lovers, the synergists and the fools”. The picture freaks me out, too!
Laughing. Good choice Carolann.
Are we voting? Count me in with the fools. Thanks for sharing this. Inspiration to find comfort in my own skin. Choose the “pulse and movement”. Love it.

Your vote is in Michael…
Definitely the latter 🙂
Great choice!
No doubt. With the fools.
Not sure I’m with the fools or am a fool.
So true…so very true! Nicely said.
Thanks Chris.
Pleasure.
