hearing the expression work life balance has always made me cringe I mean it does sound like these are two opposites that exclude each other or the only two things Our Lives consist of work is as much a part of life as are our families friends Hobbies Etc balancing all these things is what makes us who we are and more than that it can make us happy being one of the most important parts of my life my work along with other parts defines me as a person it helps me learn grow change build a certain mindset and relationships with others on the other hand work is not everything I have so I won't give up other important things for one important thing the world offers so many different ways to work to learn and to change that hating your job or sacrificing your personal life looks more like a mindset than a real problem here is a short but very inspiring speech about life by Coca-Cola's former CEO Brian G Dyson imagine Life as a game in which you are juggling some five ball in the air you name them work Family Health friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball if you drop it it will bounce back but the other four balls Family Health friends and spirit are made of glass if you drop one of these they will be irrevocably scuffed marked nicked damaged or even shattered they will never be the same you must understand that and strive for balance in your life how one don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others it is because we are different that each of us is special two don't set your goals by what other people deem important only you know what is best for you three don't take for granted the things closest to your heart cling to them as you would your life for without them life is meaningless four don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future by living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life five don't give up when you still have something to give nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying six don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect it is this fragile thread that binds us to each together seven don't be afraid to encounter risks It Is by Taking Chances that we learn how to be paav eight don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time the quickest way to receive love is to give the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep love is to give it Wings Nine don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also where you are going 10 don't forget a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated 11 don't be afraid to learn knowledge is weightless a treasure you can always carry easily 12 don't use time or words carelessly neither can be retrieved life is not a race but a journey to be savored each step of the way finding a good work life balance demands conscious effort and dedication to your health finding a rhythm that enables you to succeed in all spheres is more important than completely separating work from personal life you can design a life that is Meaningful productive and truly balanced by setting boundaries prioritizing self-care and efficiently managing your time keep in mind that finding a balance between work and personal life is a continual Adventure that benefits both both you and those around you I hope you enjoyed this video tap on the left side to watch the 5 a.m. Club book habits of successful people tap on the right side to watch seven things that impress people more than money with that said thanks for watching and until next time
