Too much

You can be disciplined and diligent without being overly obsessive. You can maintain high expectations without being crippled by perfectionism.

Moderation is the key. When a little of something is good, and more is better, you can reach a point when too much becomes counterproductive.

Before you get to that point, ease up. Don’t let your good work become compromised by carrying it to the extreme.

You can enjoy plenty of relaxation without sliding into continual laziness. You can work to get all the details right without letting your whole life become consumed by them.

Good choices are not the result of picking one extreme or the other. You’ll find plenty of great options well within the territory of reason and common sense.

By all means do enough, and even more than enough, yet remember there’s always such a thing as too much. You’re smart to keep away from it, no matter what it may be.

— Ralph Marston
