I think if it ever got to the point where you were not focusing on work, family, relationships etc anymore then you would need to take a step back.
Do everything at a high level but always take into account to balance life as best as possible.
I think bodybuilders can fall into this sometimes where thats all they focus on, they dont go out, they dont focus on family, work, relationships and/or breaks up relationships - Ive seen guys who do this + combining that with jumping on the gas at a young age to try and become a pro-bodybuilder - you wonder what the point is? Its fantastic to be focused and have a goal - but you wonder about some goals and the end result/product and what it really achieves.
If it's not longer fun I suppose.
Its a hard one to workout. If someone wants to get to a very high level at something other aspects of their life are going to suffer.

I think you will find alot of succesful have the ability to build a structured and balanced life - this is part of the reason why they are succesful - I think you need a combination of different aspects in your life to be succesful - if there is a single thing the drives you then alot of the time your setting yourself up to fail as there is no support network, no backup - nothing.

You can't reach the pinnacle of anything whether thats business or sport without neglecting all the other aspects of your life.
Nearly every really successful person I know has a personal life that is a shambles. Multiple ex-wifes, problems with their kids etc.

Haha, I wouldn't call that successful.

Thats my point to really win at whatever game your playing you have to lose the game of life.
No such thing as balance for those with lofty aspirations.
You simply can't have it all, lifes not like that.
Are they truely succesful then?

I have always seen a common thread between really succesful people - being they have the ability to 100% focus on something but also still sustain a "normal" life and have a good network of support through family and friends....
