I talked with a friend who mentioned the need to refocus.
I’ve been needing that.
A while ago I quit getting caught up in the things, but I’m still trying to find the right balance between life and work.
Workaholic
I love work, both working for myself and for others.
The idea of putting my mental and physical energy towards something, and that energy amounting to something created or produced…that’s so rewarding.
The problem arises when I love work so much that I have tunnel vision to anything and everything.
My Relationship Standard
The biggest thing that loses out when I have tunnel vision is my relationships with others.
And I don’t mean the relationships I have with the people close to me. I mean the relationships I could have with strangers.
Those small moments that linger in your mind.
The ones that communicate so much through so little.
Those are the moments that make life worth living. They extend far beyond that person or that moment. They speak to a shared humanity…something deep and uncontained.
I need to be aware of how much life it speaks into my soul.
I need to choose it.
I need to make it a part of my routine.
