“When you say that someone has their life balanced, there’s this illusion that they have it perfectly balanced. Everything has its spot, but that’s not the case for most of us. We’re juggling and every once in a while we drop a ball. And my sister would say, ‘But the goal, Jared, is just not to drop the same ball over and over again.’” 16:03
