I just heard Sesame Street is going off the air after 55 years. That is a long, incredible journey. As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s that show taught me a lot. It was important to me because I remember all the characters and their stories. I enjoyed the values they had and stories they told. Now, something new will take its place but I will miss it when it goes off the air. Someone else could think it was a waste of time and glad it is gone. That is the way of life. Everything can be temporary and will one day change. I always wanted to fight change to the death. I hated the feeling when I had my life organized only for one thing to go out of place. This would make me think my entire day was different. I am a person of routine and love to be doing the things I love. Is having a routine and doing the same things bad? Depends on who you ask. If you had fun and it was enjoyable every minute you were doing it, wouldn’t you want to continue it? Not forcing to change and staying in a routine can be boring, or predictable which people can hate over time. That is why an important balance is the best way. I just think of what I want to do and do it. If it happens to be the same thing, then so be it. The problem is this can lead to you staying in your comfort zone. As scary as things can be, taking a risk from time to time is the smart play. The odds can be in your favor in life when you do that. Now, if you are trying to take risks every time, then that will lead to pain. Balancing is important and can make the difference. When we can spend time on growing us as humans and rewarding us with fun is a winning combination. It is exactly what I use on myself to build myself up and reward myself after something good. I balance the pain and the pleasure and get to a place that I can enjoy. Others can insult it all they want, and I will not care. I have found a way to making myself happy and I am going to take it. Continuing this way into the future, will continue the benefits. If I am mad at myself for something or something that has occurred, I will think about the action I took and the action I could have taken at the time. When I can see the entire picture again of what happened and what I did this makes me understand the lesson more. In the past, I would not balance my work and personal life and eventually one would crush me, and I would just burn out. Now I know that I need to have a balance going if I want to succeed. I need to be able to do things in a quality way, while also having fun. How do you need to balance your life?
