Here's something that just came to mind that I first heard quite a while ago.
When planning your life, one usually divides it up into sections in order to improve, such as; career, girlfriend, friends, appearance and other hobbies.
Now imagine each of your goals, or sections would represent a section of a pie chart.
Finally, imagine a line being projected from the centre of the pie chart up through the middle of each section, this line being how well you are doing in each said area.
This may or may not be a difficult diagram to grasp, if people are having difficulty understanding, I will draw or find a diagram and post it.
Now, imagine this pie chart being a wheel. If you're focusing too strongly on a few areas of your pie chart (or wheel) and neglecting others, the wheel will not function properly. You can barely drive a car, let alone at any great speed with a misshapen wheel.
The metaphor, as I'm sure you've already guessed, is to have all sections, or goals in your life to be progressing at the same speed in order to be happy.
A lot of people are saying not to focus on women, but on careers and your body. This, I believe should not be too strongly embraced. By all means, pursure your chosen career and have an amazing body, but don't neglect your friends, your girlfriend, or girls you're interested in just because SS tells you so.
Hope this made sense, it's 4am and I'm tired
