To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
What both the song and the Bible verse are saying is there are times for all these things. Quality time and having fun is fine, but we do not live in a fantasy video game world. If your priorities in life are only about doing the fun things then you will not have a successful life. It is important for us to understand our priorities. If you spend your time only doing fun things like playing video games, watching TV or hanging around drinking beer then you will not be successful. In the same way if you work all the time, you will have all the money you need and nice things, but you are never home with your family. You have no real life, so again you will not be successful. If you want to be successful then you need to find a balance. You cannot just work all the time and you cannot just have fun all the time. Life flies by so quickly so you have to have your priorities established.
