Working, a career, family, kids, volunteer work, hobbies..... put them all into a pot and you have stew - a mixture of everything and not one thing stands out on its own. That's life !
But - is one thing more important than another? If so, which one? Your job or your family? The never ending dilemma. How do you balance it all? Or do you? Without a job you can't support your family - we all understand that. But after that - things get blurred.
Is balance really important? Does having a "balanced life" really have an impact? If so, how?
All of these are really important questions - and they are all very complicated questions.
Yes, some jobs might "seem" more important than others- such as doctors, surgeons, lawyers....but does that mean that your family life, your kids, your own personal happiness and fulfillment have to suffer?
At different points of your life and your career you might make some sacrifices based on your future goals. But - when you are older and more established or when you are retired - you might second guess the decisions that you made when you were younger.
The bottom line is - you can never turn back time. So the decisions that you make, though they might seem "right" at the moment - are decisions that you might regret later in life.
Family and your health, both physical and emotional are something that most people take for granted - or at least take too lightly.
By "planning" time for your family and yourself - actually scheduling "family" and "you" time - you will be more likely to have a "balanced" life - and you will be more likely not to regret putting your job first and your family last.
Life goes by too quickly - don't let it pass you by. Give your family the priority it deserves and organize your life to include your family.
