At what cost do we diet, choose to not to use paper plates, give up Netflix…

These causes can be ‘noble’. We think because they are ‘noble,’ we have no need to consider the cost.

We should be alright with not dieting if it will create too much stress in our routine…using paper plates if cleaning the dishes will make us bitter towards our house guests…not to stop watching Netflix if it is one thing our partner looks forward to at the end of the day…

Being comfortable with choosing balance rather than hiding in the extremes is a key to lasting joy.
