Quotes About Life Balance

A.A. Alebraheem

We don’t need to strive towards balance, we rather need to work on the obstacles that are preventing the natural flow of balance.

Aditi Johar Mirchandani

It would be nice to have many of the quotes we read have a ‘BUT’ addendum written in the sub-text. Be kind BUT don’t get walked over. Be vulnerable BUT also have strong boundaries. Don’t judge BUT please do discern. Help change the world and make it better BUT first focus on changing yourself and making yourself better. Be courageous and bold BUT be compassionate alongside it.

Alan Schmidt

Self-esteem is a matter of balance. Too much can tip over into haughtiness, arrogance, and the inability to admit when we have gone wrong.

Alaric Hutchinson

Harmony is our natural state of being, and so, when our energies become too stagnant, chaos is thrown into the mix to stimulate what will eventually result in balance and invite flow. The trick is to not let chaos trap or define you… simply allow it to create movement in the vehicle of your life so that you can snap your eyes open and take back control of the wheel. Do not lose yourself in the storm, instead, be the calm in the storm.

Alice Broadway

We’re all a bit bad. We all have things in our lives that bring us shame and regret. Things that have hurt our souls or hurt the people we love. But we’re all a bit good too. I reckon we’re mostly good actually. And life is about trying to learn the balance, plot our place on the continuum… We’re not just made up of good and bad: we’re everything else too.

Albert Einstein

The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you’ve lost it.    

Archibald Marwizi

A life that lacks physical exercise and activity leads to lethargy and promotes sickness of both body and mind. Exercise is important because it helps the heart, lungs, muscles, and brain to be more efficient in their use of oxygen. Take personal responsibility for what you can control – it’s your life.

Archibald Marwizi

If you disconnect yourself from principles you believe must work for others, then you create a leadership brand that is not genuine and that will lead you to say one thing and practice another. This is the reason why knowledge and mastery issues covered at a personal level, must be revisited with a leadership focus.”

Archibald Marwizi

The principles that guide your decisions as a leader must not be contradictory to your personal values. Your personal values must lay the strong foundation on which you build your leadership tenets. In becoming a principle-centered leader, these leadership values become your guiding principles and lenses for decision making.

Archibald Marwizi

At a leadership level, there is a need to become aware of the realities required to lead and deliver value to people and groups, some who might have values and beliefs that significantly differ from your own. The ability to objectively strike this balance will indicate your level of leadership maturity.

Arianna Huffington

We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in.

Aristotle

It is better to rise from life as from a banquet – neither thirsty nor drunken.

Benjamin P. Hardy

There are many successful businesses but few successful families. Yet, David O. McKay has said that ‘No other success can compensate for failure in the home.’ Without healthy relationships with family and friends, a person doesn’t truly have personal freedom. His life is out of balance.

Betsy Jacobson

Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management. Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices.

Catherine Pulsifer

Confucius

To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.

 Curt Hinson

Fennel Hudson

The speed of modern life is an oppressive thing, and the corporate world is quick to punish those with an honest heart. Qualities such as ‘nice, honest, kind, happy, relaxed, sincere, innocent’ are frowned upon as weaknesses. Yet these values are the essence of a good person. Unfortunately, if you don’t keep the balance, they can be lost like sand through your fingers.

Fennel Hudson

No more selfishness. Just a balanced, contented, and richly meaningful life.

Francis J. Braceland

We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves.

Gary Keller

Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls—family, health, friends, integrity—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

Germany Kent

You’re probably wondering what I mean by ‘The Pillars of Your Life,’ right? Well, this is simple. It’s the things that make your life what it is. The things or people that make you, you. There’s work, family, your hobby, your art, and your traditions. Except some of us have wonky pillars. Some of us give one pillar too much to hold, and the others not enough. One’s too tall, whilst the others are too small. Therefore we become unstable, and sometimes everything comes crashing down.

If you are not able to balance your heart and mind, you are imbalanced.

Tina Hallis

Work-life balance is not something we can find. That’s because we use words as if this balance were a noun when in reality it’s an action verb. We cannot find balance because it’s a continual action with ongoing adjustments, just like the tightrope walker who constantly moves his pole to keep from falling.

Todd Stocker

To live a more balanced life, glance at the past, live in the present and focus on the future.

Tony Curl

I’m not convinced that the universe is balanced. Maybe for the universe to be balanced, first we need to be balanced, because it’s only then can balance really be delivered.

When I fight my emotions I find imbalance.
