We go through a cycle of experiences every moment and process the feelings we go through with time. Stages of experience could be learning, acting, creating experience, processing, learning, repairing, and moving on to the next experience. We sometimes get sucked into the processing and learning stage, fail to move on to new experiences, and hence we may keep repeating the same experience again and again. Repairing and moving on are equally essential parts of experiences. I am learning this while writing today.
While filling a form, a question popped up about whether there is a work-life balance for me? I wonder why we use such a term? What does it mean? Is working not part of life? Or Do we consider work as thrust upon us unwillingly? Or Do we consider the definition of life as only family, fun, and friends? I am glad these questions did finally arrive and made me think hard. I am a believer in work and enjoy my work, it's a source of learning, sharing, and experiencing knowledge. My life outside work is also good these days spending time with family and pets. Again, this family life is the source of learning, sharing, and experiencing life and knowledge. Yet I don't think I have a balanced life or a mindset! To me, the "work-life balance" sounds like an absurd phrase that I fail to understand. For people who swear by the phrase seeing some element of life in it, have a good life.
So true...this is life's crucial lesson and i didn't quite know to put it into words but glad you did and thanks for sharing. 😊
