The Importance of Balance in Life

When we put too much weight in something that we may love doing but how does that get unhealthy in our lives? I think the first way that it gets unhealthy is we now are using the work to meet needs in ourselves. That if I need this work to be okay to find identity and meaning if it's what gives me value it gives me a sense of a reason to get up in the morning. And so I make and justify compromises in my life because I'm so driven by this thing.
