How do we find balance in a world that constantly pushes us?
In the latest episode of The Perfect Place to Start, I had the privilege of speaking with Jason Jacobus, who shared his journey of self-discovery after a serious car crash. This life-altering event forced him to reassess everything—from how he managed his time to the authenticity of how he was living.
Jason reflected on the gravitational pull in life that often leads us toward unproductive habits, emphasizing that finding balance is a constant challenge. He spoke about managing the tension between drive and rest, sharing that “Life is a tension to manage.” It’s not about avoiding ambition, but rather balancing it with what truly matters.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that we don’t drift toward productivity—we have to be intentional about how we balance life’s demands. Jason’s story shows us that even in the face of uncertainty, the present moment is always the perfect place to start.
