You Bring It Home...And You Bring It To Work

I recently came across the quote below from Jeff Bezos, CEO & Founder of Amazon, and it reminded me how much our work lives and personal lives are intertwined.

Not just from a work-life ‘balance’ perspective, but more importantly, from an attitude, mood and energy perspective.

Read on…

“I get asked about work-life balance all the time. And my view is, that’s a debilitating phrase because it implies there’s a strict trade-off. And the reality is, if I am happy at home, I come into the office with tremendous energy. And if I am happy at work, I come home with tremendous energy.

It actually is a circle; it’s not a balance. And I think that is worth everybody paying attention to it.”

— Jeff Bezos, CEO & Founder – Amazon

Being blessed with the opportunity to run my own small business…..and being married to the most amazing woman on the planet….I can certainly attest to how your work ‘self’ and your home ‘self’ frequently cross over! One always feeds the other, positively or negatively.

I’m fortunate that I’m super energized by both environments, which allows me to be able to make a positive difference with my clients and my family. It’s a gift I’ll never take for granted.

Keep the ‘work-life circle‘ in mind the next time you are having a rough day at home or at work. And if you’re having an awesome day, share your energy, mood and attitude with your co-workers or your family!

Stay positive!
