BALANCE
“A society that gives to one class all the opportunities for leisure, and to another class all the burdens of work, dooms both classes to spiritual sterility.”
— Lewis Mumford
Spirituality brings with it balance. In order to be relaxed, healthy and alive, I need both work and leisure. For me I need to remember it is okay to take a day off; to stay in and relax is not a waste; play time is creative time!
I was not only compulsive around alcohol and people but I was also obsessive about work. I was and am a work-aholic. I need to remember to H.A.L.T.: Don’t get too Hungry. Don’t get too Angry. Don’t get too Lonely. Don’t get too Tired.
Work for me can be a form of escape. In leisure I have the opportunity to meet with myself.
Go on enjoy yourself, with yourself!
You, who made me a laborer in the vineyard, also expected me to sit and enjoy it.
