Sometimes life gets hard.
You don’t have to work a night shift from Monday to Sunday to agree with that statement. Even the most effortless of jobs, those we believe to have truly mastered, can get unnecessarily challenging. Do you ever wonder why that is the case? You are doing everything according to the textbook: waking up early, checking off the to-do list, and even putting in extra hours just to confirm that everything is going as planned. And every day the same motto echoes in your ears – “lather, rinse, repeat”.
– Muhammad Ali
We focus too much on the controlled elements of our day-to-day routine – like sleep and nourishment, having a decent income and a roof over our heads. But what we fail to notice is our behind-the-scenes involvement. Our inherent duty to maintain relationships, strengthen familial ties, keep a healthy spirit and mind, prepare for the future ahead…and that is a mere speck in a sea of personal commitment. Suddenly, all those seemingly minuscule details of our life rise-up from their hiding spots, and battle our agendas. So how are we to manage these endlessly revolving factors? Here is a typical day in the life of the ideal “Work & Life Boss.”
Define Your Goals
Routinely, take time to reflect on what remains the most important aspect of your life. Deep within the chambers of our heart lives our ultimate purpose – a mission only we can identify with. It can vary from person to person, yet we all share one unyielding quality about the said goal – we forget about it. Be it an aspiration to learn, to become a successful business owner, or to raise honorable children, reconnect with yourself to reinforce your calling.
