Balance feels like there is some perfection involved. This leaves us feeling like we haven't done enough in one area or another. I like Tom's use of harmony as a replacement word for balance. Harmony definitions include : 1. Agreement in feeling or opinion, 2. a pleasing combination of elements in a whole. Harmony involves an acceptance of imbalance!

]]> Comment on What Oprah Knows for Sure Video – Vision, Voice and Vocation by Jessica Reddy http://www.mylifecoach.com/blog/2011/06/what-oprah-knows-for-sure-video-vision-voice-and-vocation/#comment-12 Jessica Reddy Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:49:46 +0000 http://www.mylifecoach.com/blog/?p=78#comment-12 I wholeheartedly agree with Oprah's message on the last show! I loved that she illuminated that "our real 'job' is to figure out what our calling is and get about the business of doing it." I was relieved when she shared that your calling doesn’t have to be your vocation. Many people feel that if they are not currently working in a job that they are passionate about, they've failed in life. In reality, it’s ok for us to be at a point where we’re not making a living out of our passion. With these ideas I think many people will naturally discover their passion. Without the pressure to create a career out of it… who knows, it may just turn into a vocation! I wholeheartedly agree with Oprah’s message on the last show!

Having been a consultant on the issue for 25 years I think the word balance still works. Most people need balance and not integration. We don't need to be too literal with the word. Also I think integrating work and personal life doesn't work. There needs to be some separation and that is the problem with all the technology. Individuals don't know how to separate work from personal life. I appreciate your comments and I know balance is not a perfect word. However we can try to find more equilibruim in our work-lives.
