How to make work-life balance work for you?

Some key learning/reflections:

• You don't need to make a lot of $, to buy things, to impress people that you don't like!

• Stop looking outside. Others are not going to solve this problem for you. It is up to us to take control and responsibility to determine the type of life we want to lead. We are responsible in setting the boundaries we want in our life! If you don't design your life, someone else will design it for you! So, be aware and be proactive. You have a CHOICE. If you are not making a choice, society and people around you will make it for you! YOu may not like it...

• We need to approach balance in a balanced way...don't let your work dominate your life! To be balanced, you need to look into the physical, mental, social and spiritual side of life. You need to attend to all of them!

• When it comes to people and relationships, the small things matter! It's the little things you do to others that can really transform the quality of your relationships and life. It's all about the people. The quality of your relationship will determine the quality of your life.

• We need to change our definition of success in life. The person with the most money when he dies is not the winner, it's not SUCCESS! It's all about a life well lived. My personal definition of success is...

          a. Knowing my purpose in life;

          b. Sowing seeds that benefit others; and

          c. Growing to my maximum potential.
