Marker 31: Balance Is Bullsh*t

Balance is what people chase when they’ve never found alignment.

Balance Doesn’t Exist. Alignment Does

If you’re building something real, you’re going to tip out of “balance.”
Late nights. Long stretches. Seasons that ask more from you.

That’s not failure, sadly that’s normal.

What You Actually Need Is Alignment

  • Does your effort reflect your priorities? (values)
  • Is your energy going toward what matters most? (focus)
  • Are you sacrificing the right things, not everything? (family, health)

When you're aligned, you can work like hell and still feel whole.

Forget balance. Fight for alignment.
