Finding a balance in life is a very important goal and objective. In fact, having the right balance in life is probably vital on so many different levels, especially to our physical and emotional well being, like our personal happiness.
Balance is in many ways, harmony and as they say, too much of anything can be bad. Too much work…and we lose ourselves. Too much play…and we get lazy. So work/life balance is vital, but overall, a good, healthy balance on most fronts is advisable. Take for example our diet — if we eat too much of one food group and not enough of certain others, its considered an imbalance.
One definition of balance is: “a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.” This is a simplified answer as to what balance is and below is a quote collection that helps put it into more perspective:
