Work-Life Balance!

Life is like a Cycle. Not the circular motion, but I am referring to the ubiquitous bicycle. Cycle, also known as the bike in US has 2 tyres connected by a frame and a peddle. The 2 tyres are analogies to your work life and and family life. The Only two prominent tyres of your life.

The common frame is you and the peddle is your everyday actions. The cycle wont balance to stand on its own or move by itself. It needs you. Similarly, both work and your family needs you. It is you who should balance them and run both with your undivided actions.

Try peddling one peddle only on your bicycle. It may move no doubt for some distance but will soon fall by the side of the peddle where you stepped more. Now try only working and ignoring your family or the vice versa. If the cycle falls, you fall too, right?

The cycle requires you to be on top of it and peddle the two sides with 2 legs equally hard. That’s when both tyres move in sync and the whole cycle moves forward. No doubt, while doing so, you may encounter smooth ride, bumpy ride or the hard ride up. So will be your peddling actions.

Peddle both your work and your family equally; that’s when Harsha Rao will say, you achieved ‘Work-Life Balance’ !!
