Stephen Covey Balance Quotations

Balance isn't either/or; it's 'and'.

As we create synergy among the roles of our lives, there's more of us to put into the time we have.

As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole-the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives - you'll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other.

Success in one role can't justify failure in another.
