“Focus on being balanced- success is balance.
Laila Ali
- A well-balanced life is the true successful life.
- People often correlate success with making a lot of money, getting rich, career success. And that is understandable.
- What If someone has a lot of money and not in the pink of health, unfulfilled relationship, can we consider this as a true success.
- True success comes from a sense of satisfaction that you are in control of all the key areas of your life.
- Balancing our life is not a one-time process. It is an ongoing process.
- You may not take complete control of your life. certainly, you can make good enough.

1. Physical and mental health
2. Family and relationships
3. Business and career
4. Spirituality and contribution to the society
5. Financial
6. Fun and recreation
7. Personal achievement/learning
Grade yourself:
- Now, I would like you to grade yourself in the above areas of your life on a scale of 1-10.
- Write down your scores and be honest with yourself in the process.
Pay attention to your scores:
- See the areas where you have overscored and underscored.
- If your score is between 8-10, you are doing excellent.
- A score between 5-8, shows you are doing good.
- A score below 5, shows the area needs some real attention.
Improve your scores
- Once you identified the areas that needs more attention, find out what exactly holds you back and find a way to overcome it.
- In the same way, work on every other areas to keep the scores excellent.
It’s an ongoing process
- Balancing our life is an ongoing process and it never stops.
- Our job is to keep track of all the key areas of our lives and to fulfill the day-to-day needs and wants.
- Thereby we can maintain a well-balanced life.
Everything in life…has to have balance.
