Do Not Neglect Your Personal Space in Pursuit of Your Dreams

While pursuing your dreams, there are times that you get so engrossed in your own worries, anxieties and challenges that you forget that the real reason why you work hard is to be able to do what you really want in life. These aspects could include playing golf, going on a trek or spending time with your family and kids. Advertising

The amount of time that each person has is the same. It is the manner in which we divide and segregate the time that dictates how successful we shall be in our work and personal lives. There can be no distinct demarcation in your time when it comes to thoughts. There are times in office that you take a break and plan a vacation with travel agent or have a chat with your colleague about your child. You may even discus certain personal things about your dreams and how you hope that the official work that you do shall help you achieve those dreams. There is nothing wrong with that. Advertising

On the other hand there are likely to be times when you are home with your family and you discover that you have been subconsciously thinking of a nagging problem that you have had at work. In fact there are times when solutions occur to you at the strangest of times when you are not actively thinking about them and least expect them to pop up. Advertising

Though this intermingling of business and personal thoughts and time is all fine, one thing that you need to avoid like plague is the practice of bringing your work worries and anxieties back home.

Have you seen anyone repent that he has not spent a considerable amount of time at work. You will, however, come across many people who feel that they should have spent more with their kids when they were growing up.

Don't let business emergencies disrupt your personal plans; whether it is a commitment to your child to attend his football match or a commitment to yourself to go to the gym every evening. Jobs and emergencies along with them are transient but your time and your family and those who are important to you stay with you for life. So learn to appreciate them and spend some quality time with them to ensure that you feel satisfied and complete.
