Balance is the key to fulfilling life. Maintaining it is an art that takes a lot of time to master though. Agree, Dave. Balance is the key to fulfilling life.

There's no point having a great career and making all the money in the world if you can't spend quality time with family and friends. Life is all all balance.

But I understand that it is not apparent in the 5-area model. Thanks for pointing it out. @Laura:

We should give something of ourselves back. I would suggest that a good balance also has to include service…each of us has the potential to be a force for good in this world.

In fact, I believe there is synergy between them. When we develop all of them in balance, each of them will develop faster than if we focus on only one (or some) of them. @Helen: I do think that these five areas are like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Eliminating any of them will cause the puzzle to be incomplete. As you said, every part is as important as the other. @Fran:

Every part of the list is as important as the other and wouldn't be great without the necessary support from the group. I couldn’t agree more.

This should be a good realization for everyone especially for everyone who wants to become successful. Most of us consider success as a path with a choice for us to make. Choosing one would mean sacrificing the other. But why choose if we can be normal at both sides? Great post.

Unfortunately many people just emphasize some of them while neglecting the others. "Work" - I think - is the area most people focus on. As a result, very few people achieve what you called "complete success". Yes, Dave.

Every aspect of our life needs to be fulfilled in a normal level or even higher before we can say to ourself that we succeeded completely. That is so true.
