Is Work-Life Balance Even Possible?

 You may hear the term many times: “You need to have work-life balance”

Do you think it’s even possible?

 

One must work to be able to have a life, but one must have a life, otherwise, work is for nothing.

How can one find that nice balance?

 

I feel that it goes back to the saying that you must have darkness in order to appreciate the light. Or that we must have rain in order to admire the rainbows and greenery.

 

In order to truly appreciate our family, downtime, and self time, we must work hard and be satisfied with what we do to earn a living. That hard earned money will then give you the opportunity to have enjoyable down time to spend with family, friends, or yourself because you can take the time to care for yourself and those around you.

 

Find the joy in our daily work/job because there can be balance at your workplace in the sense that even though you work hard, you can find the joy in the little things that you did to make a difference in a co-worker’s day, in a clients week, or in a stranger’s month.

 

Work-Life Balance may look or be different for everybody, while at the same time, it may have the same end-result…. Happiness.

What's your opinion?
