Does Balance Really Exist?

What are the main things when you think about balance? Do you have pains when trying to create a balance in your life?
This whole exercise has given me a bit of pause as it has been a very stressful time and with several family tragedies, it has been very hard to focus and write much less think about balance. I find in this instance when reading "How to Live with Intent, by Malika Chopra" (Chopra, 2015), I found that our intentions sometimes give us pause and that we can sometimes feel guilty for the things that we may not be able to do. Sometimes the guilt can overwhelm that you are not having any balance and you are being taken over but other things in your life. If feel that more than ever my balance and equilibrium is off and all these events have shown me that I need to spend more time taking care of some of the things that are important to me, in order to make everything else work. Work will always be there, family and time spent may not be there, so what do you do?

Something to Ponder:

Can someone tell me what the most important thing to achieving balance?
