Every day, we are inundated with messages about the importance of finding ''balance'' in our lives. How does this make us feel? Overwhelmed, out of touch, and unfulfilled. The problem isn't us--it's the message. Perfect balance is unachievable and, upon closer inspection, undesirable. The perpetual quest for balance ends up limiting growth, progress, and the quality of life.
In Off Balance On Purpose, Dan Thurmon frees you from the ''balance'' dilemma and empowers you to adopt a new approach to creating a happy, fulfilling life: embrace reality, get aligned with your purpose, lean forward, and initiate positive changes. These steps will give you the knowledge, strength, and motivation to
- Accept and take advantage of the contradictions in your daily life
- Integrate the five vital areas of life--work, relationships, health, spiritual growth, and personal interests--into a workable, fluid, sustaining pattern
- Adopt a practical, concrete process for orchestrating changes and staying aligned with your purpose
