I'm starting to think that "work-life balance" is a myth--a pretty fiction invented to convince us that if we do things <i>just right</i>, if we find that perfect balance, we will be able to have it all. And when we don't find it, we feel inadequate. So many working mothers I know are experiencing this struggle. And even though I'm not a mother and not necessarily planning on becoming one, I feel the pressure too.<br /><br />I posted this as my FB status a few days ago: "You can't be everything or do everything. There will always be a sacrifice. The question is, what are you sacrificing--and is it worth it?" It's a difficult question to face, but I think it's an important one. Do I want to sacrifice my life for an illusion of financial/career success? More and more, I feel that I really don't.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061597496715653353noreply@blogger.com
