When things are just about even. When there is about the same amount of good, bad, dull, and so on.

My life would be pretty much as it is now. There is not full balance in my life yet, but I'm close enough to be comfortable with it. If others were in balance too the would be less crime, less boredom, and I think that people in general would be able to focus on the things that really matters in life rather than the things that won't matter in the end.

Balance doesn't mean a constant and always running "flow". It will be ups and downs and things in between.

[Quote] What does it really mean to you? [End Quote]

That I have the ability to face the hard times without thinking it's the end of the world, since I know that things will be different later on. That I have the sense to enjoy the good times to the fullest when I have them, since I know that things change.

Yes, it pretty much is. Right now I'm facing hard times, but I'm still able to see the good in the world and that thing will become better in the future. Right before I stepped into my hard times I had a great time and I enjoyed it to the fullest. Balance.

By trying to see the whole picture rather than focusing on the small details. What happens today is not the whole picture, you need to look at the past, other views of the present and then predict the future. By accepting the things that can't be changed and doing the best with the things that can.

So many things in this world is out of balance. People in general focus on their greed too often and their needs to seldom.

It's a hard one to explain and discuss since the points of view vary greatly.

[Quote] What would help you get to the point of balance & maintain it? [End Quote]

Most of all it's a journey where I have to explore myself, my values, my needs and why I react to things the way that I do. I've started to walk the path, but I'm still far from my goal.

My health is always the most important, probably because I have so many health problems to deal with. It occupies much of my thought and time.
