Are you striving to do perfect work or have a perfect life?
Have we been lead to believe that you can only have one or the other?
You’re either a dedicated ‘work hard person’ or a ‘live life to the full and in balance person’. And if you are the latter you are considered a lazy dreamer who wants to avoid a hard days work.
Why does it have to be one or the other?
It has a lot to do with the industrial revolution. The invention of the 9-5 worked. You would join a company, worked hard for 30-40 years and then enjoy retirement.
We have lost faith in this system because it is no longer working. It has been this way for a while, but Covid 19 confirmed it for us.
Furthermore, there is no historical evidence of such a system where you had to chose one or the other.
Create a life that includes both, focusing on your physical and mental health, and your relationships.
Life is hard – but you can choose both and enjoy a life of balance.
Of course, you can go all-in on your business and put everything else on hold, but what price will you pay in the end?
