(Jeff Bezos talks about it, and dislikes the term work-life balance)
The mirage that everyone seems to chase
Is to achieve the elusive work-life balance these days..
*
Balance in life is particularly hard to find
In different directions you try to force your mind
To focus, but the mind does not work that way
Both at work and at home, equal attention it cannot simultaneously pay
Therefore the scales seem tipped to one side at any moment
You can only balance them to a limited extent..
*
Work and life are in a circle bound
What affects one comes around
To affect the other, but you need not devote
Equal time and energy to both
As the phrase “work-life balance” implies
Instead, the important thing to realize
Is that whatever fills your cup, you should do
Be it at work or at home, in this way you
Excel at one, and do well at the other one
You pursue your passion and also have fun
*
So you should strive for work-life harmony
Not simply work-life balance, you see…
Passion...unbridled 
Isn’t it something how one-word matters? Balance sounds like a struggle within itself. Harmony…a peaceful ring to it that is both calming and seems so much more doable than trying to balance. Thank you to you and Jeff!

The world balance is so overused in the corporate lingo that it reminds me of daily struggle.. harmony for me has a connotation of peace and tranquility associated with it.
