July 22^nd will be the National Day of Indonesian Court. A lil bit talking about court, reminds me to a word: law. And the word low brings me to remember: fair. Then fair, suggest my brain to have a topic: balance!!

Coz we have known this well already, listeners. Being fair for people means we are supposed to put things on the rait place. I believe much that one of the criteria is by being balance when making a consideration to put everything.

For this so-called wonderful today edition of English Teletalk, in this so much lovely July, let me have you discuss about having balance life.

Life balance and personal happiness do not necessarily depend on earning more money and being successful at work or in business. Other things can have a much bigger impact on our well-being. Our age and 'life-stage' particularly affect what makes us happy and balanced, as does our personality, which stems from our genetic type, and our up-bringing and life experiences. Life balance is therefore changing and different. There is no single model that's right for everyone, and no single approach is right for anyone for their whole life. The search for happiness is further complicated because the factors which most affect our personal well-being are commonly ignored or given very low priority in work and training, and in the media too. In schools also, life balance and personal happiness are largely ignored, and rarely explored or recommended as worth pursuing.

Consequently throughout our lives we don't find it easy to consider properly the issues which actually determine our own personal life balance and happiness. Like most other things however, life balance and happiness can be managed and attained, if we know the components - including our true self - and the causes of our own well-being. Life balance can therefore be understood, planned and achieved, just like any other important aim. The ideas on this webpage attempt to illustrate the wide range of factors affecting our life balance and personal happiness - and whatever these concepts mean to you. And there is also a simple tool to assist the process of considering and making some changes towards a happier more balanced life.

If you are interested to understand and improve your own life balance and personal happiness, you might find what follows to be helpful. For many people life balance equates simply to personal happiness. For others life balance is far more complex.

Life balance also depends on your situation - and your age or life stage.

Life balance is expressed in many different ways, for example:

• Work-Life balance.
• Fulfillment - and personal or emotional fulfillment.
• Well-being, and personal well-being/wellbeing.
• Happiness, or simply being happy.
• At peace (with myself or life) or in harmony with life.
• Contentment, and inner calm.

What does life balance mean to you? And what influences it?

THE QUIZ here maybe help you to decide:
