We work longer hours, take on big responsibilities and obsess over success so much that it harnesses all our focus and energy. Some of us are simply stuck in the mindset of making money and being successful. ‘You can’t truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.’ – Zig Ziglar When you achieve this, you’re more likely to have an improved work-life balance, and that is critical to career success in the long run. From flexible working hours to taking a break, there are ways to improve productivity and happiness in the workplace. However, as speaker and author Alexander Kjerulf observes, being satisfied with your job and feeling less pressured will, ultimately, help you reach that success you yearn for at work. This can result in a miserable battle for a work-life balance. We chase success so much that it leaves us feeling burned out, overworked and unhappy with less control over our personal lives. We’re all pressured to be the next Richard Branson, Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. The truth is that happiness at work will make you successful.’ – Alexander Kjerulf ‘Most people chase success at work, thinking that will make them happy. Got fired? Get a new job.Īs real estate entrepreneur Gary Keller says, remember that work will always bounce back, but the precious things in life you neglect might not. Work, on the other hand, can be fixed when things go wrong. Perhaps your focus on work never let you pay attention to your health until you were faced with a sickness, or maybe you lost contact with friends for years and years.
When these aspects of your life start falling apart, you risk never getting them back. This thought-provoking quote reminds us about the most important things in life: family, health, friends and integrity. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.’ – Gary Keller The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. Before we know it though, our busyness has left us with a broken marriage, health issue, or a non-existent relationship with the children.Ĭountry singer Dolly Parton reminds us that we need to prevent our busyness from robbing us of our personal lives – take a step back from work as much as you can, and dedicate some hours to personal pleasures instead. We’re ‘too busy’ for a coffee, ‘too busy’ for the kids and ‘too busy’ for a holiday.
#LIFE BALANCE QUOTES PROFESSIONAL#
Some of us are just too busy with our professional lives, striving to score the next best goal and make the next big buck. ‘Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.’ – Dolly Parton
