Balancing work life and personal is very important and is inevitable for our health. meaning it is very necessary. In my own opinion, I think the reason why we work is to support life. So we should not be swallowed up to a point that we let work replace life.
I remember some time ago a friend of mine shared some emotional thoughts with me.
In his words he said, when I keep pursuing dreams, chasing the bag and neglect the people I love, so who am I doing this for.?
He said the junior sis, fell ill at home and he never knew because he was always busy with work. Till the situation became worst and that was what drew his attention. But before that time, the sister was already heart broken and felt the brother does not care about her.
When he realised it, he had to take some steps to balance his work life and and personal life. Because even he, himself never looked at his life outside work.
They say, life is not a bed of roses, sometimes it does not give us what we want, so in the case while pursuing a comfortable life, we might unknowingly replace work with our personal life.
When we let this happened, it might lead to broken family, relationship and the rest. Because this people tend to feel you don't are about them. And you on the other side will be stressed.
However, this doesn't mean we should neglect work, because it might lead to a shattered life and an unfulfilled potentials.
Inorder for us to strike a balance,
We must endeavour to set boundaries between work and personal life. We must know when to say no to some certain task coming from work area. This will go a long in helping our energy and also protect our time.
Don't let work interfere when you are supposed to be with yourself or family. We must pay attention to our emotional, physical and even our spiritual well-being.
Because, before a man is tag successful, that means, everything around him is working, and not him excelling with his family broken.
This is my response to this week's prompt.
