It is not so much the time you put into your job that matters most.  It is the time you put into your heartfelt connections for that is where the greatest satisfaction will be in your lives.  Yet people think work, work, work is the greatest effect and achievement they will attain in this lifetime.  Sad, but true.  At the end you will suffer thinking…is that what I live for?  Where is the satisfaction that I thought would sustain me for a lifetime because I sweated bullets for that company?  And that company and the next one and the one after that.

No, dearest children.  The sooner you realizes that your job is but  an end to your means you will be happier and more fulfilled than all the jobs in the world could bring you.  It matters not that we say it.  You must believe it.  Then you will make room for the important things in your lives whatever those might be.  And you ask, “How can I squeeze one more thing into my busy schedule?”  True enough.  The workaday work has you by the balls, so to speak.  (May we speak plainly?) And yet, you allow it.  There are ways you can put the brakes on.  The boundaries up.  Start small and do it.  Follow through no matter how uncomfortable.  Be aware of how it feels to give yourself the freedom, no matter how small, of what matters to you most in your lives.

You, my dear, are learning this lesson.  That is why you face the situation that you do today.  Be clear in your energy and you will prevail.  We are certain.  But make no mistake.  There will be more instances for you to prevail.

You are products of previous generations yet the world has changed.  It demands more yet doesn’t allow you to take more.  Be certain the scales are balanced.
