Quite a while back I discovered that you cannot have it all in this life. The best you can try for is some formula which gets you stability with some degree of fulfillment.
After a successful career and raising two wonderful kids something had to give somewhere and full authenticity beckoned. I didn't listen to it and so it yelled a little louder so I would pay attention.
Now I realize that spreading myself too thin was slowly doing me in. I keep using the phrase "being all things to all people" because it applies when you are juggling too many things. In the process you get lost and have your molecules spread out into useless fragments you cannot use.
No, you cannot have it all but you can find your center and be more than satisfied while knowing that what you thought you wanted wasn't quite right after all.
