How Many Elements Can A Person Handle?

[SFRL]

I was thinking my life basically consists of 3 'elements'. Work, gym, and my relationship with my girlfriend. 

Those are the 3 main things that I focus on. I will dabble in some other elements but those are the main 3 things. 

Soon I will have to add a 4th element to those 3 which I would call Family. 

Now I think maybe I should add a fifth Element to my life to elevate it. 

 

I was just thinking does the level of Self-Actualization depend on how many Elements a person can successfully manage in their life at the same time? 

When I look at other people most people seem to make up their life if 3 elements. Some maybe 4. But it's hard to find regular people who's life consists of 5 or 6 elements.

It is possible to manage all the major areas of life to a very high degree. But what you won't be able to do is manage and focus on them equally.

Past a certain level, life is about tradeoffs. You don't get to do everything, that's the nature of being a finite entity. So really what you should be focusing on is what is the right balance FOR YOU, not to do everything equally.
