“If I live in the middle, then I don’t have to worry about falling off the edge.”
As a natural born extremist, I often find myself reminded of my aptitude for “all or none.” To a great extent, life is about finding balance and I know that aiming for fifty will serve me far greater than living half the time at one hundred and half the time at zero. So why is it so challenging? Through my own self-examination and struggles, I have learned that relationships are all about negotiating need. To happily coexist, we must find a way to satisfy those around us while satisfying ourselves. Too much of either of these will naturally lead to a deficiency of the other, resulting in an imbalance and dissatisfaction.
