You might need to read that one again. It is a really, really, fine line. This is a really complicated issue. At least for me. The concept of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am fiercely independent and stubborn to a fault, but I have been supportable in the past. Currently though, I would say I am definitely difficult (near on impossible) to support. I have willing and prepared family and friends, who would probably never say &#8216;No&#8217; if I asked for help &#8211; so many of us [...]]]></description>

What I find most astounding is that it is Gen-Y who is leading the charge. What the? Yes we are in our twenties and building the foundations of our careers and indeed our lives but wasn’t it us that vowed never to repeat our parents’ mistake of putting work before fulfillment and happiness?]]></description>

Healthy, happy, productive people have found the right balance between activities that boost their energy levels and ones that tax their energy levels.

So if you have loved ones, hobbies, are compassionate, have children, see the bigger picture beyond your wants &#8211; you have some tough decisions to make.
