I've not been here for long, but in the little time that I've spent here, I've gotten to see, experience, and learn a lot. One of which is that balancing all of these things does not mean giving equal time and attention to them all.
This is a personal question, right? So, personally balancing family, career, and myself is me knowing fully well what needs me most at each moment without totally neglecting the other things.
We all say, "family is first/family comes first." And it's sa.e for me too. Even though I don't just say it, I mean it. I've seen and I know what family really is. Yes, I see them stand by me when every other person left, I see them hold onto hope even when I've let go. So, I can tell you for free that family is everything to me, and they come first, for that reason I will and I've always made time for them, no matter how busy I am.
Now, talk of career. Which is also a very important aspect. I do a lot of things, because as a young guy trying to survive in this harsh economy you can't sit on just one work and expect to make ends meet. No. I as well give my time to that too, just so I can always deliver the best. And since my goal is to build a good and better future, then I should be ready to give what's needed.
One of the many things I've also learned in life is that, you cannot pour from an empty cup and you can't give what you don't have. So, I don't try to do everything at the same time. No, I do things one at a time and I ensure to give myself the rest I deserve too. It might be taking time out of work, it might be me deciding to go offline for a day or so, it might be just a break or hanging out with friends. Just a time out for myself as well.
And even with all of those plannings, balancing and all, it still goes awry on some day's when.i will be required to give more of me. And it varies, sometimes it's the family that needs the most time and attention, sometimes its work and all, but then I always remind myself that I matter too. So, I should take things slowly and rest.
So, when you talk of balance, to me, it is about showing up where I'm needed, while still taking care of myself, because if I don't do that, no one will.
