Road to Balance

The other day at work, a woman came in to talk about the "road to balance" (see her handouts). Given the fact that I'm about to join a small startup company, this is a particularly timely topic and one that I need to take very seriously. Relative to where I was a couple of years ago, I feel like I am more grounded and disciplined with respect to the importance of balance. But there is a high risk of this getting out of control in a hurry if I'm not careful about it - especially all the new things I need to learn for my new position (see this post). I'm really going to need to rely on my wife and the rest of my family to keep me honest here. It's not easy to tell someone that they have their priorities out of whack but I'm glad I have people in my life who care enough to do so.

Yeah, I'm good at policing the balance thing - at least, before it hits a breaking point. :) I think this time around, the kids are going to be the ones letting you know when you are out of balance. They've got all of the verbal skills needed (and more) to let you know exactly what you need and what they need. love you.
