The OnGoing Turbulence Balancing Act

Life for me is a balancing act.
Balancing Life, Work, and the rest of the World.
Within Life, I find myself balancing my needs, those of my loved ones, those of my family (yes, I have people in my family that I do not count as loved ones, but that is another blog post), and those of my friends.
If we go a step deeper, then my needs can be divided into my physical needs, entertainment needs, health needs, even my sport needs.
And so you understand what I mean, it can look like this sometimes.

Life is a complex set of circles, some of them connected among themselves, and each requiring some amount of attention (and work) at different times.
But these needs are also not static by definition. Some of them might be, but some of them are in a state of turbulence-equilibrium.
And you know they can get out of equilibrium if you miss some important event or disregard a need of this circle.
And so, we find ourselves in an on-going balancing act, where we are constantly looking to fulfill the needs of our circles, while paying special attention at the ones in a state of turbulence, to ensure they do not go into a full blown storm.
An important thing to notice here is that, as much as the circles with turbulence sound like the are a lot of trouble, they are also usually the most interesting and satisfying in your balancing act :-)
