Balancing Work and Life

Somebody once said: Balance is not what you find, it’s something you create.

Ever since humanity evolved to knowledge capital from labor capital, we have struggled to find the “balance” in our life to harmoniously cope up with family and professional life.

Especially for the entrepreneurs and professional community, this has become an endless pursuit to strike the “balance” between work and life.

Let me tell you this – Balance is, and will always remain a relentless pursuit. It is never a destination.

What’s the one thing that can shift our “being” towards balance?

The short one-word answer is, Love.

It’s not just important to do what we love. It’s more important to love what we do.

Love is the answer to almost all the challenges we face in our life.

For the majority of people, Love is an ‘involuntary feeling that fleets from external inspiration. In my opinion, it isn’t.

Love is what we are, or what we can become.

Like I tell my friends, Love is not something we “do”. It is something we “are”.

The point I am trying to make is this – Love, to me is energy. We should constantly remind ourselves the “why” we do things, and invest love as energy into making it happen.

When we start loving what we do, we automatically create balance in our life, because it gives us energy. It doesn’t take the energy away from us.

So whatever we do in life – when we do it with Love and put on a big smile on our face while we do it, the “balance” automatically happens.

Remember: Balance is a relentless pursuit. It’s not a destination.
