I'm struggling with the health of my attitude towards variance in poker right about now... to the point that i finally updated my cv to include poker - hard to leave that out given that it's been my only source of income for over three years now. But things aren't so bad that i'm doing anything with that cv just yet 
Re life balance. I think that having poker play the dominant role in each of the work and social and recreational aspects of life would be a recipe for clinical depression or worse, like, anyone who has even some tendencies towards instability would have to be pretty fucking stupid to let poker play too big a role in their life, even if it was their job. Galfond talks about the value of life outside poker a lot in one of his blogs, and it's gold. It's my job, and i still enjoy it. But I mostly enjoy the lifestyle it enables. Not living the life of hedonistic luxury (can't afford that), but living the life of ample flexibility and free time, and enough money i guess.
