What Leads To Your Imbalance?

Consider this quote by Scott H. Young, from a recent blog post:

"...short-term obsessions are more productive than trying to maintain balance. Accomplishing something important requires a complete focus, splitting your energies between several different areas at once wastes your time and finishes little."

But what if short-term imbalances lead to long-term imbalances?

According to Young,  people get stuck on one single path which leads to long-term imbalance.  He lists several reasons.  Here are a three:

1. They like doing what they’re best at.  The loner billionaire likes the confidence he gets from making money but dislikes the ego-bruising he gets when trying to connect with other people.
2. They’re used to a certain timing of rewards.  The rewards for business aren’t the same as the rewards for travel or relationships.  The timing of work, investment and payoff are different, so this might make you more attracted to one area of life than another.
3. Denial.  It’s easier to avoid than improve.  If you tell yourself your family, finances or health is fine even when it’s disastrous, you can focus on what you like doing.
