I know it has been a while since my last post, but I have certainly grown busier with work and finally trying to reintroduce hobbies into my life. That being said, I think there is one thing to learn from the real world and that is when work gets busy, stay involved with it, make time for yourself, but don’t necessarily feel obligated to keep everything you regularly do in line. Is that a poor excuse for not having posted anything in the past 7 years? Potentially. Is that the best I have for an update? Certainly.

While work can sometimes seem to take over our lives, it’s important to understand the work-life balance. My friend, Ben, so eloquently put, “You either have to have a job doing what you love to do, or have a job that allows you to do what you want to do.” That means, if you love to wake up late in the morning and go out golfing every day along with work, then it is probably best for you to have a job that accommodates the schedule of what you love. I have rarely heard a statement that profound, but you must look at the statement closely and realize where your priorities stand in your life and if you are continuing to do that which you love. Routine can be both bad and good. Often times, we find ourselves getting in the routine of our daily lives and finally being able to add in small things here and there to continuously add to the richness of our lives. That is what I am currently undertaking. I encourage everyone to reassess their lifestyle and daily routine and try something new. Hold on to your childish love for amusement, and find what you love to do. What’s the worst that can come from that?
