Balance vs Conduit

This is true. What we fear, what disturbs and defeats us is what we are meant to be doing. In other words, it disturbs us for a reason.

The journey towards “a work-life balance” tends to end up in burnout and depression because the pitting of work and life against each other is wrong.

Also, this one is absolutely crucial once you move into the middle age:

Middle age is when you become a conduit through which good things travel to other people. It feels great and reminds you that you have reached a great place in your relationship with the world. If you don’t become a conduit by 50, you’ll collapse into the dreaded midlife crisis.

Forget balance, and start thinking conduit.

One thought on “Balance vs Conduit

  1. Jung was an occultist masquerading as a psychologist.

    Didn’t make him wrong or anything, but it’s always funny watching people pick him up and turn him around in the light like a glinting object they found in the grass, not knowing what it is.
