Balanced vs blended life

How many times have we heard people say that we need to live a balanced life? especially those of us in leadership, and youth leadership in particular. I would like to suggest that the idea of a balanced life is not helpful, and even more is unlikely ever to happen. I would suggest that a better way of looking at life would be a blended life. S many of us have so many different relationships, our young people, other workers, or social friends, and our families, and trying to balance all these relationships probably would cause us more stress than our work does. Looking at our relationships as belnded would take the pressure of us thinking that we had to balance things all the time, and it would also help us to relaise that there were different ap spects of our lives at different times. god would want us to have all the varied relationshipsthat we have, but I would suggest, he would also know that bel ending these relationships would be a better way of looking at things rather than a balanced life.
