“How do I achieve balance between my work and my home life?” I ask them in return, “How often does a tightrope walker balance when on the high wire?” After a few seconds of thinking, they almost always say, “All the time.” I say, “That is the same situation with balance between work and home life. You have to do it all the time. You never reach a point where you have attained it perfectly. You have to work at it.”
