Is balance really the goal?

We're constantly told to strive for "work-life balance", but is balance actually possible, or even desirable? Some seasons of life require more from us than others, whether that's building a business, caring for family or navigating change. Perhaps the goal isn't perfect balance at all, but learning how to notice when we're out of alignment and knowing how to find our way back.

Discussion: What does a flourishing life look like to you? Is balance something you strive for, or have you found a different way of thinking about it?
