I spent over 30 years with GNC and 23 years with the 美国军队 and when they were done with me I was replaced without a thought.
In the corporate world we live in, it's easy to get caught up in hustle and grinding. We are driven by deadlines, targets, and the constant pressure to perform.
Yet, amid this relentless pursuit of success, we often forget an essential truth: life is short, and the moments we cherish with our family are irreplaceable.
If you died today, your employer will start looking for your replacement by tomorrow. This harsh reality should prompt us to rethink our priorities and strive for a balanced and happy life.
Top thought leaders and influential voices in the world of business and personal development emphasize the importance of living a life OUTSIDE of work.
Let us explore some insights from these leaders and understand why it is so crucial to embrace life beyond the confines of our professional obligations.
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: THE POWER OF WELL BEING.
Arianna Huffington the co-founder of the Huffington Post and founder of Thrive Global , has long been an advocate for wellness and work life balance.
In her book "Thrive" she discusses the effects of burnout and the importance of prioritizing our health and happiness. She argues that success should not be measured just on our achievements but by our ability to enjoy our amazing life.
She states "We need to redefine what it means to live a successful life" . Her message is loud and clear: Our well being should NEVER take a back seat to our job. By taking time to relax, connect with family and friends, and pursue our passions, we can lead a purpose driven life.
SIMON SINEK: START WITH WHY!
Simon Sinek , one of my favorite authors and motivational speakers, best known for his concept of "Start With Why."
He emphasizes the importance of understanding our purpose and aligning our actions with our core values.
In his book " Leaders Eat Last." Sinek explores the significance of trust and loyalty within organizations, highlighting how a supportive work environment can enhance our overall well being.
Fun fact I will NEVER eat before my bride and kids start eating first. I learned that from my time in the Army, never eat before your troops.
Sinek's philosophy extends beyond the job. He believes that true happiness comes from living a life that reflects our values and passions.
"Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion," he says.
By finding out our true why, finding joy and purpose OUTSIDE of work, we can achieve a more balanced and satisfying life.
