At what expense do we strive to be the best in our careers?

When you lying on your death bed will you really look back at your career, or the people that made your journey on this planet worthwhile?

I am sure God didn’t place us on the planet for work alone…maybe it’s time to breathe and re-evaluate our lives in an effort to achieve balance.

Great post Belinda! Good luck!

You should actually count yourself amongst the fortunate - you have a comfort zone. You already have a family and you can ask questions to yourself specific to what your priorities should be. What about those who do not really have a life outside the marketplace … those do not have someone to go home to from a long day at the salt mine?

You are good at what you do both on the workshop floor and back at home - you have and are a support structure. Due to your career you and hubby Stii can make career decisions in a very protected environment. “Agter elke man” the old afrikaans saying goes and anyone who knows you will know that you fill those shoes well - don’t doubt your decisions so … you’re living it chick … bloody well done.

@Bev: Thanks for the support - I know you’re in the same boat. It makes it easier to chat to someone that can relate, we can’t solve one another’s problems, but at least we can listen and UNDERSTAND.

@Jayx: That’s why I love it when you (people) comment - seeing life through somebody else’s eyes makes a huge difference. Even though it’s hectic and stressful I’ve never thought about the flip side of the coin. Thx Jayx, you’ve given me something else to think about!
