What are the areas of balance in life that people need to discover?

Balance is the ability to stand between two extremes without wavering and without insecurity. Those of us who have a few years on our belt know that balance comes with good teaching and with experience. I'm endeavoring to figure out what the different areas of life and character are that we need balance in, for example:





idealism vs realism - can't be too real and can't be too "head in the clouds" ideal.








Self-judgementalism vs self-analysis - can't be too hard on yourself, but you can't be lazy minded either.





Isolation vs individualism - we have to recognize our need for others, but can't get too caught up with the crowd either.








So what about you? What areas in your life have you had to discover a balance between two extremes of character that served you well?|||6 Aspects in which Moderation is Demanded to Achieve Human Flourishing:
