Get Messy to get Clean. by Alex Beauchamp, Girl at Play

So I'm going to keep looking for that life of balance, realizing that it's not something to be found, but something to be lived, each and every day. Balance is something that takes constant thought and energy and is not easy, otherwise everyone would be doing it; there is no step-by-step guide because every person, every life, is unique.

If you want to do it right, there is no easy way -- and yet, once you get the hang of it, it seems easy because you're achieving everything that you want. It's a self-sustaining effort that re-energizes instead of drains. That's the secret of those successful people who seem genuinely happy. It is possible, it is within your reach, if only you have the fortitude to work through all the psychological clutter that's in your way, the discipline to banish the fear from your mind. Like cleaning up your room -- it's gotta get messier before it can get clean.

So now the trick is actually living it instead of just saying it. And here's where one must stop blogging and get out there and do it.
