<ul>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Wealth without Work </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Pleasure without Conscience </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Science without Humanity</span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Knowledge without Character </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Politics without Principle </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Commerce without Morality </span></li>
	<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Worship without Sacrifice</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">About ten years ago there was a huge "work/life balance" movement in the business space that came out of Silicon Valley. It created a great conversation for those who would become slaves to the Internet bubble, and it's promises of millions if you just worked 60 hours work weeks.  And then there was the counterbalance movement, which said balance is a myth that is impossible. The two movements were started arguably in the same space, at a magazine called <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/" target="_blank">Fast Company</a>.

So when I saw this list I thought back to those two movements. And what I've come to believe is that balance can only be achieved by bringing mindfulness to each category but in different seasons of life. So right now I might be working on wealth, while science takes a back seat. I don't forget about science. I just recognize that my energy needs to be focused. And if I never return to it, I'm out of balance.Which one resonates with you and why?
