Work–life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) on the one hand and "lifestyle" (Health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation) on the other. Related, though broader, terms include "lifestyle calm balance" and "life style choices". I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles. ~ Zig Ziglar “I’ve learned that you can’t have everything and do everything at the same time.” - Oprah Winfrey "Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away." --Barbara de Angelis Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ~ Muhammad Ali
