The phrase itself poses a conflict. It conjures up a pair of scales. More work would equate less life. Conversely, more life would equate less work. You pour your energies into your work, to forge a career but for what? To climb higher on the career ladder? To earn more money? And what? Does it bring you more joy in your personal life? No, by constantly putting in more hours into work, you neglect your family, your kids or those who are close to you. We should cultivate our home life as much as our work life. If you have a good home life, your work life will prosper.
Think about it, you have a bad day at work. You take your frustrations out on your family. You blow up at the slightest issue and cause a fight. Did you mean to hurt your loved ones? Of course not but over time, things will stack up. Either you have the love and support from them or they have had enough of your tantrums and leave you for dust.
Do yourself a favour. Decide what it is you want for you? Work is just there to provide you money to live, to buy you the comforts you crave, for your sacrifice of time. What is the point of having money when you have nobody to enjoy with?
Work on achieving a work-life compliment. Look for balance and you will find peace in both...
