Work life balance is a bunk. The current fab is work life integration. A more realistic approach about integrating work with other facets of life - home or family, community and self. When I was younger, work was really important. It was important compare to other aspect of my life because I want to be financial independent, I want to crave out a career and I want to be successful. When work wasn't going my way, I have been devastated thinking that I do not have options, I am stuck period.
I have changed. I have learned that there is more to life than work. And most importantly, there is always other options. It is imperative to surround myself with people of the same beliefs and passion. I have spread out my focus between work, home, community and self. I am grateful that I went down this path.
Work is not rosy at the moment, I feel that I am not being challenged, I roll my eyes when I am on conference calls with certain people at work. I am not eager to suggest improvements. I feel stifled after the new organization is in placed. In the past, I would hate myself and drown in misery and self-pity. I am grateful that I take a different perspectives. While I continue to do what I was told at work, I am actively looking for opportunities and talking to people about interesting opportunities. My other aspect of life is keeping me sane until I can change my working condition. I am grateful for the new perspective.
