Equalize: fate, balance, and the journey to find your place




“Are you sure you want to do this?” my friend asked me as I uploaded the last of my belongings into my car, preparing to drive across the country to start a new life.

  • Fate had given me a life that was full of joy, love, and laughter, but it had also been marked with loss and sorrow, a delicate scale that had always been just the slightest bit off-balance.
  • It was time for me to find a place where I could finally “equalize” the scales, to find a place where I could find peace and balance.
  • The drive was long and solitary, but it gave me ample time to reflect on my life up to that point.

  • I thought about my childhood, growing up in a small town where everyone knew each other and life was simple.
  • I thought about my time in college, where I met my best friends and fell in love for the first time.
  • And I thought about my career, which had been successful but had also taken a toll on my personal life.
  • As I drove, I realized that I had been so focused on my goals and ambitions that I had neglected the things that were truly important to me.

  • I had sacrificed my relationships, my health, and my happiness in the pursuit of success.
  • And I knew that if I didn’t make a change, I would never be able to find the balance I was looking for.
  • When I finally arrived at my new home, I was filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

  • I didn’t know what the future held, but I was determined to make the most of it.
  • I found a job that I loved, and I started to build a new life for myself.
  • I made new friends, and I started to rediscover the things that made me happy.
  • It wasn’t always easy, but I slowly started to feel more balanced.

  • I learned to let go of the things that were holding me back, and I started to focus on the things that were important to me.
  • I realized that life is a journey, not a destination, and that the true measure of success is not the amount of money you have or the things you own, but the quality of your relationships and the impact you have on the world.
  • I’m still on my journey, and I don’t know what the future holds.

  • But I’m confident that I’m on the right path, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
  • It may be a cliché, but it’s true: the journey is the destination.

  • And I’m grateful for every step I take.
  • If you’re feeling off-balance, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your life.

  • What are your priorities, and are you living your life in alignment with them?
  • Are you neglecting the things that are truly important to you?
  • If you’re not sure, it’s okay. We all lose our way sometimes.

  • The important thing is to be willing to take a step back and reassess your life.
  • I promise you, it’s worth it.
  • You deserve to live a balanced life. You deserve to be happy.

  • So take some time to reflect on your life, and make the changes that you need to make.
  • The journey to find your balance may not be easy, but it’s a journey worth taking.
