Final Words
Design a Purposeful Life with Your Work A Part of It, But Not Your Only Focus
At the end of your life, it's unlikely you will wish you had worked longer hours or sacrificed most of your life just to get more things done.
Doing work that's meaningful to you will always play a significant part of your life.
However, that does not mean you should make your work the only focus of your life.
You will go through seasons where that will be the case, but it should not be the norm.
MAKE IT COUNT
An action step you can take this week is to reflect on how much time you spend on work every week. How many hours do you work? How do you regularly feel after each work week? That should give you insight into how much your work is dominating your life and where you need to change how you work.
Have a great week. Thank you for reading. 🙏
And always remember, live your greatness! 🙌
Best wishes,
