Work-Life Balance
It is in most fresh grads (or in my case, fresh drop-out) to ‘piah’ at work for the first few years.
We work hard and work late to climb that corporate ladder, or simply because we love our jobs.
We spend so much time at work, it’s easy to forget that we have a life outside of work. And more importantly, that the life we live outside of work is much more important.
I have come to accept that work can never be 100% complete, that there will always be work to do, work unfinished and emails unanswered. While I work hard (in the office as we speak) and give my best, I have learnt to let go and make time for what’s more important to me – my family, loved ones and God.
I dare say that even ministry may not be as important as we deem it to be. In our self-righteousness, it’s easy to categorise God and ministry together and justify that workaholic streak in us, but that’s not the case. Take Pastors for example, they have a phenomenal youth ministry, but apart from God, their family, Rinnah, is most important to them. I doubt that Pastors love God any less. And if another example is needed, let’s remember Martha and Mary.
Work hard, live well, love much.
