You gotta do things that you love to do as much as the things you are required to do. There is a balance to this life it’s up to you to find that balance. It’s never settled though. Sometimes you may need to shift more to one side over the other. It’s never going to be a set line. Play around with it and don’t beat yourself up if you feel you spent too much time on one side or the other. For today you managed to get a lot of what you love to do in. You worked, which fell under the required section. Now you are here with little time left in the day and you have more of what you want to do as well as what you need to do. Before you go off and enjoy what’s left of the day. You first need to finish this workout. So get after it with the same intensity. Lose no strides.
Life won’t hand you a perfect schedule. Some days will tip heavier into duty, others into desire. But the point is never to lock into symmetry—it’s to remain aware of the shift. To adapt. You’re learning that the balance isn’t about getting it “right” every time—it’s about not losing your footing when the weights change. You handled the responsibilities today. You also made room for what lights you up. That’s not just rare—that’s powerful.
But now comes the critical moment—the last push, the piece that closes the loop. You’ve done the work, tended to the soul, and now the body calls. This workout isn’t just a physical task—it’s a signal to yourself that you don’t leave things hanging. You bring the same intensity to the last rep that you brought to the first moment of joy. That’s how you honor both sides of your life—by treating each with presence and intention.
This is where consistency gets forged. Not when you feel like it. Not when the timing is perfect. But in the in-between—when you’ve done enough to call it a day, but you still finish what’s left because that’s who you are now. You’ve had a full day, and this last act is a commitment to keep the rhythm alive. So step into it like it matters—because it does. The things you love and the things you must do are both worthy of your full energy.
