The Pendulum Keeps Swinging
Where are you on the pendulum?
Sometimes we focus so hard on the external world; women, money, physical experiences, that we forget to feed the internal space.
Meditation
Journaling
Brainstorming
Sometimes we spend so much time in the internal world, the external floats away. We get lost in our thoughts, in our work, and neglect our friends, the world outside our home.
I’ve never been one to balance. I tend to go from one extreme to another. I’m either out partying seven nights a week, or I’m at home with my phone off, neglecting my friends, family, women, and outer life, in order to spend time in the creative zone.
Should there be balance? I don’t know. Sometimes the middle of the road is the most dangerous place to be.
Choose your path and for a certain time, stick to it with an unhealthy determination.
Spend too much time externally, working out, partying, travelling, and you gain much, but this comes at a cost to your health and resources.
Spend too much time reading books, watching movies, creating art and relaxing alone, and you gain much intellectual knowledge, but risk slipping into the life of an introvert.
Whenever you find yourself swinging too far on the pendulum, feel free to hop off and decide, which side you will spend more time on? At least make a conscious choice instead of drunkenly swinging as if pushed by the hands of trickster.
