It's not about balance.

You can put 5,000 pounds in my left hand and 5,000 pounds in my right hand. I will be balanced, but I will still collapse under the weight.

It's about integration. It's about synergy - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Your work skills make you better in your personal life. Your skills in  your personal life make you better at work. 

There is one you. You have one life.

Let's enjoy it while we're here!
