Balance in life

The hardest thing is to achieve a balanced life. One where you have family, friends, work, hobbies, beer on the weekends, and trips abroad.Creative people tend to lean heavily toward their creative pursuits and devote all their time to them. Career-driven people have no time left for family and friends. Party people have no time for work or creativity.Sometimes, in your youth, you’re a party animal, then a career-driven person, and then a family person. Or the other way around: first you became a career-driven person, achieved success or became disillusioned with it, and then became a creative person.Which is better: leading a balanced life or swinging from one extreme to another?
