Kim"isms" Part 2

There are a lot of things in this world that can be taken to extreme. Actually - everything! Addiction is something that we all tend to struggle with, whether it it is something very serious such as drugs, alcohol or unhealthy behaviors. Or it could be minor addictions that gradually eat away at our inner peace and overall happiness such as working to hard, video games, social media or consuming to much sugar. Sometimes trying our hardest to succeed at something can become an addiction or obsession just because we loose other components of who we are just to reach that goal or sustain a certain type of lifestyle. I feel like this type of motivation and drive is okay to a certain extent because this is how ordinary people achieve wonderful things. However, at some point in time something has got to give. None of us are perfect. None of us are always going to be prepared to maintain mom of the year, wife of the year or employee of the year status. None of us are always going to be in first place during our 5Ks. I think overall as a society we need to learn that this is okay. The smartest, sexiest, friendliest people are also at times going to be the dumbest, laziest, rude/grouchy people you could ever come across.

The way I see it, rather than striving to be the best at everything or even the best at 1 or 2 things we all need to focus on finding our middle ground. This sounds so easy and simplified however the more I think about it and begin to focus on it, the more complicated this concept becomes.
