How to Strive a Balance in Life

And conversely, if you find everything falling down around you, then that's your evidence that you haven't struck a balance. You're not skillful enough. The term work-life balance has victim blaming baked into it. It implies that no matter how much life throws at you, there's a sweet spot that would enable you to hold everything up. You just need to find it. So why can't you do the adult equivalent and manage to fulfill your obligations without ballzing something up?
