people like Mark demonstrate that having a good awareness of what good and bad is.\u00a0 He has bad days, but his scale is set properly and anyone who has gone though trauma typically has a better perspective<\/li>\n<li>He talks about how going through a transition, some people handle it differently, as we discuss in my talk Balance Through Transition &#8211; that a part of it is nurture, some of it is nature.<\/li>\n<li>Mark became very aware of the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyfor.life\/balancecoaching\/2016\/10\/04\/balance-and-the-sliding-puzzle\/\">Balance<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyfor.life\/balancecoaching\/2016\/10\/04\/balance-and-the-sliding-puzzle\/\"> Is a Sliding Puzzle<\/a> when he returned from three hour runs and realized that<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit Mark&#8217;s site at<a href=\"http:\/\/markblack.ca\">\u00a0http:\/\/markblack.ca<\/a>.\u00a0 His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Live-Life-Heart-Passion-Purpose\/dp\/1606935518\">book<\/a> is available on Amazon.com.\u00a0 Mark has three kids, is frequently a keynote speaker and runs marathons.\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyfor.life\/balancecoaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-03-at-9.38.59-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"139\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alchemyfor.life\/balancecoaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-03-at-9.38.59-AM.png 238w, https:\/\/www.alchemyfor.life\/balancecoaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-03-at-9.38.59-AM-201x300.png 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 139px) 100vw, 139px\" \/><\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Mark Black &amp;#8211;
