Is Work-Life Balance Really Important?


Work-Life Balance
I actually prefer Life-Work Balance. I feel the Work shouldn't be at the top of list.
Work wasn't ever meant to be our whole life, but granted it is a big part of it.
We need to work to have a life, but should we live to work?

It depends.

If we are doing the right job that we were created to do, then we will be getting so much fulfillment out of our work that we will love waking up each day and it wont even feel like work. This can only enhance all areas of our life.

But work should never be so all consuming, that we don't leave anytime for our families or indeed ourselves. We will eventually become rundown and get sick .

To quote a line from one of my favourite movies "The Princess Bride", if you don't have your health, you don't have anything!

Whats more, you will never get that time back with your children or loved ones. They may not be there forever and we can't take them for granted.

Nobody that I have ever heard of has come to the end of their lives and regretted not working more!

So yes, Life-work balance is very important.

You will find it easier to achieve this if you are in the right job for you.
