I have been struggling with the whole “what am I doing here?” debate in my head for the last several months. In the end, we all have 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. None of us knows when our last day on this planet will be. So we need to ask ourselves how will we spend each of those 24 hours. On my last day here, I am fairly confident that I will not be wishing I had analyzed one more website, but WILL be remembering all of the time spent with my loved ones and realizing that it was never enough. Live for today; plan for tomorrow; MAKE time for the important things in your life.

You are lucky enough to work on what you love, every day. Many people hate their daily jobs, but go on doing it hard bcs it seems the only way to survive, sacrificing not only beloved ones, but their own potential. Brother of my wife died of cancer a year ago. I promised myself to start being happy, at work and at home. I slip often, of course, but go on trying, and it pays off.

I wish it took less pain to realize what’s really important.

Good on you for sharing such a personal and difficult situation with the community. It’s a reminder that for many of us while we love our companies and what we do, there are friends, families, pets and hobbies who we also love that need an equal share of our time. Finding that balance isn’t always clear or easy, especially when work demands are ever present and always attached to a timeline.

We want our businesses to thrive and grow, but at what price? There needs to be balance and posts like these are timely reminders that finding that balance should be a priority for all of us.

I would like to say that for me it works out always to take time-out for my parents especially Mother and also for my Fiance. That feeling gives me a satisfaction and a sound sleep too. Though I am just at the beginning of my career I wish I would talk with them daily and appreciate our bond even after the life gets busier!

Regards!

while we continue the hustle, we console ourselves that we kept the things that mattered in that special corner of our minds.

That, is not enough. Call home now, just for a minute, tell them how much they mean to you, make that plan to bond, make it happen.

I lost that chance to something which I would never wish upon my worst enemy. I lost the chance to hold and love, the smell my children’s hair and wife’s cooking, to divorce.

a death of a different kind, but a reminder that the loss is just as bad as I have lost loved ones to cancer too.

KPI’s are important, managing your business to keep your job and stakeholders satisfied is too.

you guys will justify and say ‘I can’t afford not to do this now’.

I say focus, prioritise, break out that 2 minute call twice a day. you can do it.

God bless

7 years of 24/7 care for family taught me this and allowed me to finds ways to help them enjoy life. And now, slipping back has left forever.

Peace & Love EveryOne
