To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.

Host: The room is still, the only sound the faint ticking of a clock on the wall and the gentle rustling of the pages of a book Jeeny flips through absentmindedly. The soft glow of the table lamp casts a warm, almost serene light across the room. Jack sits at the window, looking out at the soft blur of city lights, his mind clearly elsewhere. After a moment of silence, Jeeny looks up, sensing that Jack is deep in thought.

Jeeny: (gently) “You’ve been quiet. What’s on your mind?”

Jack: (sighing, his voice distant) “I was thinking about something Ricky Williams said. He talked about balance — or rather, how it’s easier to talk about what’s out of balance than what’s in balance. And it got me thinking about how much of our lives are filled with diseases of the mind, things like anger, jealousy, fear... all these things that knock us off course.”

Host: Jeeny sets the book aside, her attention focused entirely on Jack. The stillness of the room deepens as she senses the weight of his words, and she waits for him to continue, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of her cup.

Jeeny: (softly) “So, what do you mean by diseases of the mind? How do those affect our balance?”

Jack: (turning to face her, his gaze intense) “I think what Ricky meant is that these emotions, these thoughts — jealousy, anger, fear, greed — they’re all forms of dis-ease. When we’re not at ease, when we’re not in the flow of things, that’s when we lose our balance. And it's not just about our bodies being out of balance. It’s the mind, too.”

Host: The words seem to settle into the space, lingering in the room like a slow, deep breath. Jeeny nods, understanding dawning as she reflects on the meaning behind the phrase.

Jeeny: “So it’s not just about being physically unwell, it’s about what’s happening in our minds. When we’re overwhelmed with emotion, with negative thoughts, we lose our sense of center, our ability to move with the world instead of against it.”

Jack: (nodding, his tone thoughtful) “Exactly. It’s like when you’re carrying around all this emotional baggage, this anger or fear, it creates resistance in your life. You’re no longer moving with the flow of things. You’re fighting it. That fight is what causes the dis-ease. It’s like trying to swim against a current — it drains you, it throws you off course.”

Host: Jeeny falls silent for a moment, her mind processing the depth of what Jack said. The soft hum of the world outside seems to fade as they both sit in the weight of the realization.

Jeeny: (gently) “But how do you get back into balance? How do you stop the cycle of dis-ease when it feels like everything is out of control?”

Jack: (pausing, his voice softer now) “I think it starts with awareness. Recognizing that the dis-ease is there, acknowledging it, and understanding that it’s a symptom of something deeper. Maybe it’s a fear we haven’t dealt with or an old hurt we’re holding on to. Once we see it for what it is, we can start to let it go, slowly. It’s not an easy process, but it’s about making space for ease — space to breathe, to let go of those things that are holding us back.”

Host: The conversation lingers in the air, the room feeling somehow calmer, as if the simple act of talking about balance has already begun to restore it. The clock ticks on, marking the passage of time, while they both sit in the quiet of this shared understanding.

Jeeny: (softly) “It sounds like it’s about letting go of the things that no longer serve us. The things that keep us in a state of resistance, even if we don’t always realize it. We hold onto them because we think they protect us, but in reality, they’re just keeping us stuck.”

Jack: (nodding slowly) “Yeah, and when we let go of that resistance, we stop fighting ourselves. We stop fighting the flow of life. That’s when we get back into balance, when we’re no longer struggling, but moving with ease. It’s about acceptance — accepting that life is constantly in motion, and we need to move with it, not against it.”

Host: There’s a quiet shift in the room now, the air more peaceful, as if their words have created a moment of calm. The noise of the world outside, distant and fading, no longer feels as heavy. In this stillness, there’s a quiet truth: balance is not something to find, but something to cultivate, to return to, when we lose our way.

Jeeny: (smiling softly) “It’s funny how something so simple can feel so profound. It’s not about making everything perfect; it’s about finding a way to flow with everything, even the things that challenge us.”

Jack: (smiling in return) “Yeah. Maybe that’s the secret — finding peace in the flow, even when the current gets rough.”

Host: The evening passes slowly, their conversation leaving behind a sense of calm, the quiet understanding of how dis-ease can throw us off balance — and how, through awareness and acceptance, we can return to the ease of balance once again. In this moment, the room feels balanced, full of possibility and peace.

With the author

The more I pay attention to what's going on inside, the more I realize that how I feel, and how I react to what I feel, really creates my reality. And the more in touch I can be, the better chance I have to control what's happening in my life.

Ricky Williams

I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors, really good massage therapists, and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.

Ricky Williams

I realized a while back that I have an innate ability to be compassionate, and I saw that the strength of compassion is something that healers have and healers use.'

Ricky Williams

I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience.

Ricky Williams

The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun.

Ricky Williams

There's more to life than success, and if you can try to be more well-rounded, you'll be able to enjoy your success more. It won't own you or control you.

Ricky Williams

And I think if you look at any relationship, for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow, sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.

Ricky Williams

I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.

When you start suppressing feelings at an early age, it hurts you down the road. Full expression of anger and pain is very important.

Andrew Shue

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.

Brene Brown

I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. 'The Last One Alive,' for me, is very simple. It's just about alienation, really, that causes anger.

Jon Crosby

I'm an emotional person. Anger and frustration comes out in many ways... I'm not afraid to hug my friends that I love, and I'm not afraid to express my emotions when I'm upset.

Big Show

I hate to see the way journalism is devalued: We have to feed the machine; we have to feed the Trump outrage machine, to feed the anger against Trump, to feed the New York liberal anger.

Seymour Hersh

Being irrational and out of control is what happens in real life. Not cautiously choreographing your anger or your emotions, losing yourself in them is what happens in real life.

Margot Robbie

I'm not angry, I'm not an angry person, but I do sometimes like playing with the perception of anger, as in pretending that I'm more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it works quite well.

Calvin Harris

It absolutely helped - to write the father in both 'Juicy' and 'Beasts,' I had to see the whole story from his point of view. All of a sudden I understood more of what my own father must be going through - the fear, the frustration, the anger... the hope that he'll leave a legacy.
