Abstract
This article aims to reflect on the balance between life and work in today's society because this balance affects the happiness and well-being of individuals, both physically and mentally. Therefore, the ability to effectively work while maintaining personal well-being is not just a concept that speaks to our happiness and success in all aspects of life. It is also about having self-emotional intelligence and mindfulness. A virtuous mind is a crucial factor to consider when considering the balance between work and personal life to achieve the highest quality of life. The balance of life and work reflects the need to adjust the balance between times spent working and time devoted to personal activities. In creating a culture of happiness, modern organizational management must foster a balanced work environment to drive the organization toward becoming a quality organization. This relies on collaborative leadership to promote holistic well-being in four dimensions: (1) Physical - ensuring occupational health and safety, (2) Mental - cultivating mindfulness, tranquility, and ethical principles, (3) Social - fostering positive relationships, promoting fairness, and creating a peaceful community, and (4) Intellectual - empowering individuals to think, act, and solve problems effectively.
