Is Life Balance a myth?

Some people have said to me that Life Balance is a myth, not possible.  I think it all depends on one's definition of life balance.

Can we achieve high levels of performance in every area of our lives, keeping faith, family, self, work, finances, and health balanced in terms of proper time and attention? If so, it's probably not often.  In my world, a porcine creature might just be flying overhead.  In fact, it sounds like a lot of work for naught. I'm not interested in that.

Definition matters.

I believe Life Balance means being one with God as we go about our day, putting into practice what we've learned about faith, family, self, etc., along the way. This is a restful place to be, as Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30)  Rather than fretting when my world starts to tip on it's head, I'm learning to open my mind to accept a greater truth...I only have to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment and take a step in that direction."Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.' " (Isaiah 30:21)

More and more, I'm finding that listening gets easier as I align my attitudes and internal dialogue with who he is.

Some might say that my definition is harder than the first, but I would say nothing is impossible with God.  (Luke 1:37)

Here's a video on balance that proves great things are possible if we stick with the process.
