What is Work-Life balance?

Work–life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) and "lifestyle" 

(health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation)

Under work there is career and ambition.

To have work and life balance first you have to know what career and ambition really defines.

Career - An occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress.

Ambition- A strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.

Ambition is something which arouses in you career. Determination and hard work, which is required by ambition, should not be to overpowering.

As work is part of life, many people struggle to have a balance between work and life.However this can be achievable through many steps.

 Why is work-life balance so important ?
Juggling five balls of life : Work, Family, Health, Friends, and Spirit
Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca-Cola, spoke that: Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit – and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. What happens if you drop the rubber ball? It will bounce back.
But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same.
