Balancing Between Work and Family

Everybody wants to hustle. Everybody wants to eat, make sure their bills are paid and they have resources. Sure, that is important. But, how valuable is that when it comes to life changing decisions? Or when it comes to seeing your family gain success and watching them grow into their passions? You have to decide which is more important. There is a reason why “retirement” exist. In some way society tells us that we don’t need to work forever and there is light at the end the employment tunnel. But, we don’t hear about retiring from family. This is because, a family’s value in our life goes beyond retiring, while jobs have an expiration date. So with this being, I want you to think about who or what you are going to place the most value in. If you chose family, below are 4 very simple ways to start placing more value on time with your family:

• Leaving work on time
• Taking time off of work, consistently
• Stating that you have a family engagement
• Telling your job no (having clear boundariess
