Work-Life-Growth
Life is a balance act, that is never fully accomplished. People talk about work-life-balance, but who actually has fully achieved that perfect relationship?
As I searched for balance, I never imagined that I would be on a continuous journey to find my place and purpose. I thought that at this phase I would have it all figured out, instead I often find myself fumbling through the days. I never thought that navigating marriage, motherhood, and a professional life would have so many conflicting pieces. Observing others, I hoped that I would be able to balance all of the moving pieces of work and life to manage all of the tasks at hand with tact and grace. And, then I realized I was failing.
I hope that as I share my insight that someone else will look and realize that the growth that occurs on the journey is much more important than trying to find the balance. Scales tips, balance is lost, and when this happens, I hope that I am able to learn and grow from the process.
So, I hope you find something that helps to propel you forward as you work through life and grow even in the absence of balance. I hope that this insight makes you more resilient, and that I become more resilient in the process.
I hope you enjoy my blog and thoughts.
