LOVE is the most important thing to all humans -- even if they choose not to be aware of it.
All that you listed is important or can be. The KEY is BALANCE.
Find a happy balance between being a individual (because we ALL are on some level! :-) ) in society. The living of dreams ARE what life is all about for it fills one with joy and life. Family is our base from which we spring forth -- our rock so to speak.
SO find the balance between it all and it is a moment by moment CONSCIOUS choice.
An example of this or exercise if you will...
Stand straight
lift one arm straigth up
lift the opposite leg behind you while bending at the waist
find your "balance point"
notice how your "balance point" shifts as you lift your leg higher
Your "balance point" is ever moving, ever changing and so to are your the "balance" of your lifes choices that you are presented moment by moment, day by day.
Here is a KEY or RULE if you will:
DO THE BEST YOU CAN, WHERE YOU ARE, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AT THE TIME.
If you DO this and can honestly look back upon the situation KNOWING you did this, that is ALL that you can possibly do.
Life is a journey on a path. Sometimes the path takes detours but you learn from it what works and what does not. That is WISDOM (knowledge applied). In the next situation you will take what you have learned (WISDOM) and try something different thereby gaining more wisdom. In the context of BALANCE one is wise to make minor adjustments versus a full scale swing to it's polar opposite.
You may find that you can have it ALL in moderation by being in BALANCE.
Best of Luck!

For me, it is extremely important that I am happy at whatever I do. Career. Relationships. Whatever. If I feel that someone or something has more control over my life than I do I am not complete which means that I am not happy.
A balanced life is one where you are able to encompasses many of the aspects that are presented to you and you are able to make sense of it. The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. These are combined and something beautiful is created.

Balanced life is taking care of the individuality first, then the interests of the family and then that of the society.

Human beings can sacrifice even their own lives or kill others to uphold values that they truly care for..... this is where human beings are very different from other beings.
Unfortunately, values held by people are not the same, not even similar.... each person decides to root for a set of values quite exclusively based on personal experience (experience includes influences as well).... therefore we can only conclude that their own set of values is the most important for human beings and these values can differ quite widely from one nation to another, one society to another, one community to another, one family to another and even one person to another.
In this context, I would say a balanced life would be when we can respect other people's values as much as our own..... one may neither justify nor follow values held by others, but one must have the maturity to realize that they too have the same rights to hold on to their own values.
Hope this makes sense, although it is a very generalized response.

He who discovers and strengthens further, the link between all the things which you mentioned, could be said to live a balanced life. However one should begin first by developing his/her individuality because without taking care of it first, the other things would be very difficult to achieve.

In my opinion, balanced emotions are necessary. One should not be disturbed by dualities of life i.e. pleasures and sorrows, victory or defeat. If one leads an emotionally balanced life, he can take care of his individual person, his family and his society very well but he is disturbed by smaller things favourable or unfavourable, he becomes a liability for himself as well as for others.

the most important thing to a human is love
the love of your family, friends,and everyone and things around us. without love, we would just be an empty shell with nothing to live for and live would lose it's meaning

You should always chase your dreams and look towards being happy and healthy ..The rest will just follow on.Dont look for wealth as you will never find it as the more you have the more you want so youll never be truly happy
