I welcome you to my blog. One mistake many individuals make is focusing or giving all of their attention to one aspect of their lives and completely ignoring the other aspect; we fail to understand that for every aspect of our lives to function properly, it must be given just enough attention to get it to function properly. You cannot be starving or not giving an aspect of your life the attention it needs, and then expect to see improvement; every aspect of your life you ignore or give less attention to will either stay dormant or even deteriorate.
Many people lost friendships and even relationships they were supposed to keep or wanted to keep just because they could not find time to nurture the relationship or friendship; they were busy focusing on their work life more and were only giving it their all to the work aspect of their lives. Trust me, everything needs nurturing and attention to grow; any part of your life that you ignore and fail to give the attention it needs will die off before you even know it. Many of us focus on work and the need for money, and then right before our eyes every other aspect of our lives dies off or withers.
Every aspect of our lives is like a flower; if it is not properly nurtured, it just withers. It can be very difficult to find a balance, but one just has to try all they can to make sure that a level of balance is attained and every aspect of their life is given the attention it needs. Even if one cannot give work life and personal life an equal amount of attention, one just needs to make sure that the attention given to both is just enough to keep them alive and not let them die. Today we have many broken homes, and it is not as a result of cheating but as a result of lack of time for family, and one is just too invested in their work life, and family begins to crumble or crash.
Finding a balance between work life and personal life sometimes feels like an impossible thing to do, but it is actually achievable; you just need to know when to take a break from work and give other things that need attention in your life the attention they need. As much as money and working to make it are important, there are other aspects of our lives that are also important, especially friendships and our health. Some people are so work-orientated that they only give attention to work and work alone, ignoring even the body they are using to carry out this work and forgetting that there is a saying that "health is wealth"; don't wait until it fails you before you give it attention. Knowing when to take a break from this part of your life and give attention to that part of your life is how you find balance.
